10 Things That Comfort Me As A Blog Reader

1. Consistency in post quantity, be it once a week or ten a day
2. Answered comments. Who doesn't like a reply?
3. Dependability. Pretty much knowing what you are going to get. Like an old friend.
4. An excitement for blogging. When posting's a pleasure, not a chore. Not 'Oh, I guess I should update, it's been so long..'
5. Other people commenting
6. Regular features
7. A balance between personal life, and 'topics'. Not all business, but not all "I just ate a peanut butter sandwich, y'all" either.
8. A balance between text and pictures
9. Posts I can read in 30 seconds
10. A picture and thorough profile page so I can form a picture of who I'm reading.

Where I stand on these "commandments"...
1. I'd say I'm pretty consistent.
2. I try, but occasionally discussions get away from me and I have moved on.
3. Yeah, probably.
4. I'm fine there.
5. I try. I'd like to broaden the base of commenters - blogging is a two way street - and it's not reading and writing, it's writing and commenting.
6. YouTube Tuesday baby.
7. Yeah. I do that.
8. I try to do that.
9. Sometimes.
10. Yeah.

I do ok. Hooray.
