Annoying things I have found bloggers do (including me)

As every man and his dog own's a blog these days, it means that lots of guilty habits have come through that really annoy me. Here is the list below, let me know what you think!

On Twitter using one of those blog retweet accounts.
I admit I used them a lot and I still do occasionally. I got spammed to the extent that I had to unsubscribe from them. The reason why it annoyed me was it took over my feed and made my Twitter virtually unusable.

Those Twitter accounts that tweet every SINGLE BLOG POST any day and everyday
Yep, I have had to previous unfollow really good bloggers because they spammed my account by continuously posting every blog post from day one everyday!

Set up a blogger business and not respond to any emails.
I will not name names, but I contacted a newly set up blogger company after answering an advert looking for people to help out. I sent an email and got one back which was full of spelling mistakes and didn't include an email signature or anything (which I found very unprofessional). I appreciate they are a start up but first impressions go a long way. I sent a further two emails and didn't get anything back.

Not having a consistent post layout
This I am guilty for. I keep chopping and changing my layout due to change of style, but it should really be kept consistent.

Blog posts full of spelling mistakes
I am not perfect at spelling (worse with grammar), but the standard of blogging is so high, these days you cannot afford to have your posts littered with mistakes.

Bloggers slagging other bloggers off
I haven't had it happen to me personally but why do people do that is beyond me. We are all in this together, why don't we just help each other out rather than slag each other off.

Pixalated Photographs
I really learnt this through work how important images are. Pixelated photographs just don't cut it and there are plenty of Creative Commons Licencing images available. That said I have a pixelated photo of Jemima Kirke and Lena Dunham on my Twitter header just because :)

Images that don't show up properly on social media
Images that don't show up properly on Twitter and Facebook are more than likely to get low engagement rates so what is the point in putting up bad images?

Apologising for not blogging
I find that this is attention seeking and also it creates a competition to post all of the time which not every blogger can do.

Millions of photos on one blog page
This one is mainly for fashion and beauty bloggers. I hate seeing no more than five pictures of one outfit on a post. Any more is just over the top and distracts from the actual post.

Is there any annoying things I have missed off the list you think should be added?
