There is one person I follow who plays music. If I'm at home, I don't mind it, but often I'm at work and don't always remember to mute my sound. When that music comes over, it's like, Yikes! I then click out asap. I might come back to leave a comment, or I might not. Thank you for mentioning the dark backgrounds and white type. I am, ahem, not a 25yo any more. I just got bifocal contact lenses, which helps, but it still is an effort to read tiny white print on a black background. Great tips. There is one person I follow who plays music.

And animated gifs just distract! Oh so very true, I hate blogs that force music on people more than anything. And animated gifs just distract!

It's amazing how many of the 10 items you listed were "in" even as recent as a few years ago (#1, 2, and 6 particularly). Even if a blog has great content, any of these items can scare away readers.

It seems that a lot of bloggers these days are using a list building pop-up, which is a quick way to get me to leave. The only thing more annoying is that damn music.
