Blogging is about saying what's on your mind, entertaining others, or just rambling. Communicating effectively is critical. Visitors to blogs come to read the entries and should be able to do so easily.
Distractions
Advertising, poor graphics, and any other distractions on blog pages should never interfere with the blog entry.
