It's funny someone above mentioned Academichic - it's my only exception since I just like them so much.<br /><br />I am actually moving through my feeds right now to delete blogs that are not my favorites (of course this one made the cut!) so this post hit a chord with me.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601878060596827828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-84568821889582160882010-04-19T20:41:10.069-04:002010-04-19T20:41:10.069-04:00I hate that too!

YOU are the reason I started blogging (Sorry!)<br />I admit, I post big, as I want to show the details better, but I hate to be led around a blog. It seems really hard to please everyone, and I admire the fact that you stay true to your inner style! Also, what's up with people who leave nasty or "I know more than you" comments on blogs? Didn't they ever learn that if you have nothing good to say, zip it!? ( I just got a style slap ). I'm trying to send peace and love their way, while not trying to mentally blow them up with the power of my mind ;)<br />You Rock! Have a great weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360833507127511662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-63428712882554144022010-04-16T17:10:55.232-04:002010-04-16T17:10:55.232-04:00Right on!

It used to be a lot more, but I went through a major delete phase a while ago and deleted a lot of blogs that I really wasn't as interested in. ... I love fashion blogs for the pictures mainly, so I will quickly scroll through the pictures and note in my head what I like and don't like.<br /><br />I have come in contact with SEVERAL blogs that I LOVE on the site ... but then I click subscribe, and they only show a portion of the article. ... I unsubscribe right away. Especially if they post every day. There are a FEW that post once every two weeks or so that I keep. But, that's only because it doesn't always take too much away from my time to go to one post every once in a while. ... But it's rare.<br /><br />I also hardly ever comment on blogs, so congrats on your amazing post!

It's full view. <br /><br />I've been thinking of taking away the word verification, since I review all comments anyway, and this has cinched it. <br /><br />I do un-Follow blogs that don't update on a regular basis. There are just too many other great blogs that do!<br /><br />Thanks for this post!

Most people don't know it's one of the options in your feed setup so I doubt it's intentional in all cases. But I don't have time to click through; it's enough to get to leave comments as often as I wish I could.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166689210558948213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-8073849523258124742010-04-15T22:22:59.543-04:002010-04-15T22:22:59.543-04:00TOTALLY agree....TOTALLY agree....FlamingoNWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515032745716190605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-66655079806516072182010-04-15T21:59:10.104-04:002010-04-15T21:59:10.104-04:00Totally agree, and I'll leave it at that.

I can understand that, but those blogs are usually interesting enough that I don't mind clicking through and they provide enough of a teaser that I can tell at a glance whether I want to click through. But in general I don't prefer truncated feeds. Hmm, now that I think about it,I need to double check how my feed is set up.

I know better I know she doesn't care. I also hate the blogs with 543 identical giant photos that are the same. gah.

That's one of the reasons I now use feedly. For blogs that are truncated, you can click to open a preview window within feedly that is nowhere near as annoying or takes as much time as opening a new window. Feedly does other wonderful things as well. you can check it out at feedly.com.<br /><br />ClaraClarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838656854709586779noreply@blogger.com
