Slogging Through My BlogLog
Lincoln Adams | May 31, 2007 @ 3:17 amOk… am I the ONLY one who gets more than a little frustrated when trying to use MyBlogLog? I understand the idea behind it, but it gets tedious clicking on a reader’s avatar, then having to click not once, but twice just to see that user’s blog, and so on. It’s just a lot of click, click, clicking every dang fricking way, and I have to hope the reader I originally clicked on posted some helpful info about who he or she is and what kind of blog he or she runs, otherwise, I’ll have no clue who or what just visited my site. It doesn’t help that the pages of user profiles and their respective blogging communities look exactly alike, making it disorienting to navigate (hmm, was I here already? I can’t tell…) Up until recently MyBlogLog didn’t even have a tags system, making the act of trying to find like minded readers and bloggers with similar interests by using the search query alone a frustrating endeavor as well. When you’re viewing a blogging community there’s a list of readers, but all you see is the username and avatar. Not very informative or helpful, especially when there’s a TON of readers. Usually I just end up clicking on avatars that depict a cute looking girl (yeah I know I’m pathetic, bite me already).
Oh well, maybe I’ll get the hang of it eventually, especially if the tagging system matures enough to make finding like-minded readers a bit more easier.
