   If people want to bookmark your stories or vote for them on Digg, they will do it no matter what.

   Buttons only serve as a reminder, but they are not essential.

   One of the most frustrating things about some people’s blogs is their apparent refusal to archive their material. Blogs with a “front page” consisting of a year’s postings take an age to load. Each successive time I visit them I get more and more frustrated. Keep your posts on one page to a maximum of five!

   The links aren’t working, at least for me. I just get a page with sponsored links and the message “This domain is available”.

   I agree on the background music…That kills a site.
   I close it as quickly as I opened it.
   And most of the tunes are those horrible midi things,
   yaikes!

   With the social bookmarking buttons I agree.
   But at least I think we need to have a digg button.
   Background music is something that drives me nuts. So no no to music.
   Long blog roll too is a sign of a poor blog.

   I know I have a very long blog roll, but I have it capped at 5, so if the viewer wants to see ALL of them, they can just click and expand. I also like tucking things away. Hopefully the new tabs at the page bottom will lighten the load.

   I also heard that placing Digg buttons, slows down blogs. I know I had the button at the top right of each post, and the page took an age to load before I took em off.
