I am not a big picture person either. I like content that I can relate to. I don't like long posts. As for design I do not like small font or white font on a dark background. I like it clean and sleek.

I don't mind pictures... I don't like ads or giveaways. I like blogs that I can relate to on some level. I read "personal" blogs: not having to do with work or advertisements. I like simple, easy-to-read blogs that have shorter posts and are updated somewhat consistently.

I really like a wide variety of different types of blogs. I like giveaway blogs because I like to enter contests but I don't "read" those. I like personal blogs with photos and posts about real life vs a bunch of memes that don't give me an idea of who the person is. I like business blogs that give me ideas about how to make money. Best of all are blogs that do all of these things :)

I prefer personal blogs covering topics I can relate to. I'm typically not interested in ads or giveaways. I prefer shorter posts although I have a really difficult time keeping them short myself! Ha, ha! I do like pictures though. Especially really funny or artistic shots.

It really depends on the mood I'm in. I don't like a blog that is disorganized, or makes no sense. I guess that is why I have two blogs, one for promoting my business, and one for our ranch life. Sure, I mix the two, but only when it is appropriate.

I started the Ranch blog, as a way to keep a journal. And because I am not much of a write, it does not get posted to as much as my business blog, but it is about my life, and I can share with you what I feel will help others to get to know me.

My business blog is just that. I use it to promote my gift shop, my direct sales company, and to help my friends with their businesses.

You can check out either one, the links are below:
Cloud 9 Ranch
Diamond M Essentials

Thanks for letting me share!

I like blogs in general. :-) Spelling and grammar are a big deal to me. Hey, we all make mistakes occasionally... but, I click off blogs that sound worse than my 4th grader. :-)

i like blogs about topics that i'm interested in.... mom stuff, parenting, crafting, organizing time/life, a little bit of everything.

this is great topic b/c i've been thinking about this lately too. I do some giveaways, not a lot of reviews and try to do a wide variety of family stuff, mom stuff, working stuff (i'm a working mom) and funny/entertaining posts.

I know I'm a little slow in responding to this discussion, but I thought I would add my two cents.
I like a more simple design. And I don't mind moms putting adds on their blogs (I have a couple) but sometimes I feel like there can be too much and its a real turn-off to me. Too cluttered and busy.
I like blogs that are true to life. I know some people need to vent, I've done it, but too much complaining is also a turn-off. Funny, entertaining, crafty, do-it-yourselfers... I like all of those.

I know my blog isn't much, but I write about my life with 4 kids ages 5 and under. I try to make my stories fun and entertaining. It helps me to have a better attitude when things get crazy.

I enjoyed reading everyone's feedback to your question! Thanks for asking it!

I don't mind a few giveaways, but when the content is primarily giveaways and reviews and advertisements I'll not follow as closely. I prefer a lot of good, genuine writing and a clean format. My primary interest in blogs is reading great essays and getting to know the writers.
