Let Me Let You In On A Little Not So Secret, Secret

May 23, 2010
let-me-let-you-in-on-a-little-not-so-secret-secret

If you want to know the fastest way to discourage visitors from your blog and instead encourage them to leave, I’m about to let you in on a little secret. I mean you’d think it would be common sense but given that I’ve visited multiple blogs in the past few days, all of which have this particular trait in common, apparently not so much.

So you want to know the secret, eh? Alright, be prepared to NOT be shocked or in awe because really it’s common knowledge, or at least so one would hope.

DO NOT HAVE MUSIC PLAYING ON YOUR BLOG!

… or at the very least if you just have to have music, don’t put it on auto play. Let your visitors decide whether they want to tolerate the crap music you decided to put on (trust me, usually it’s all crap). When I visit a blog and music starts blaring at me, the first thing I do is locate the red x on the top of my monitor and get the fuck off the page. So for those who seem to think it’s cool, cute, or whatever, newsflash IT’S NOT.

So do me a favor or for fuck’s sake do the entire world wide web a favor and save the music for your ears because we sure as hell don’t want to hear it.

AAAAAMMMENNN. I completely agree. That one website was ridiculous.. it’s been a long time since I’ve seen (er.. heard) music on someone’s blog where there was not an option to silence it. So annoying!

Ugh music on blogs is just EVIL EVIL EVIL. It should be outlawed.

I completely agree. :P I’ve gone on many sites that do that and it just plain straight up annoys me. O.o I usually have my speakers turned off so I don’t have to go through that. Of course, when I’m blaring my own music… it kind of fails to do that :P

Oh well I suppose some people will never learn.

What absolutely cracks me up is that this trend has been going on for over a decade and it’s always been in the top three of the “do not do this!” list. And yet people still just do not get it. Having music is nothing new. It doesn’t make you cool. And your taste in music is probably not impressing anyone.

I totally agree. There is nothing worse than coming to a blog and having to scramble to turn my speakers off.
