			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>&#8230;And I&#8217;m Not Coming Back!</h3>
<p>Normally I try to stay on the positive side of things. There are plenty of bloggers ranting out there!  But today, I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m in a mood, and I just can&#8217;t hold it in anymore. Today I am ranting!  Here is why I HATE YOUR BLOG!<br />
<strong>You have any type of auto play audio.</strong><br />
I don&#8217;t care if it your favorite song ever, or if you think it adds to the &#8220;ambiance&#8221; of your site. I don&#8217;t like it. I have my own music, or more likely, I like it quiet.  If you have those audio ads on your site that&#8217;s even worse. The minute I hear something coming from your site I am jumping for the back button. Hopefully, never to return.</p>
<p><strong>You have &#8220;sexy&#8221; pictures on your site.</strong> And I don&#8217;t mean sexy in a good way. I don&#8217;t care how good your content is, if I have to look at boobs and butts I&#8217;m not staying.  Number One. I&#8217;m not a 14 year old boy. Those pictures just don&#8217;t do anything for me. (And if that is your ad, there is no way I&#8217;m going to click on it!) Number Two. I have kids, and parents, and a husband.  If they happen to see what I&#8217;m reading on my computer I don&#8217;t want to have to do any explaining about how those are only ads for other sites, and really, I just read it for the articles.</p>
<p><strong>You try to trick me to click on your ads</strong> I hate being tricked. It also tells me that there is no reason to believe anything you write so why should I visit your site?</p>
<p>OK, I know I said 3, but I have one more, a bonus rant if you will.<br />
<strong>I can&#8217;t find your content for all the ads.</strong>  I understand making money. I have ads. Ads are great! But if everything above the fold is ads, why should I keep going? And don&#8217;t annoy me with flashing, neon colored ads. They give me a headache.</p>
<p>Wow, That was fun!  Maybe I&#8217;ll do a rant of the week! But enough is enough.  What do you hate about my blog?</p>
