I haven’t been commenting on nearly as many blogs recently as I used to in the old days but I came across a post today that I really had somethng to say about. This was a blogger I’ve never seen before but he had some interesting points so I thought I should say something about it. Well, I was interrupted by somebody and then had to surf away from that page though I have saved the URL of the blog’s home page hoping to get back to it later.
No friggin chance! When I got back to the blog’s home page it took me forever to be able to browse to the post I was interested in because: 1) there was no sidebar with archive links or whatever to that matter; 2) there was no such thing as “recent posts” or the like; 3) there was no link to the next page of posts from the home page and the home page featured like 5 or 6 posts and the post in question has been done like 10 days ago and the blogger seemed to be a very active dude posting like 2-3 posts a day. i tried using one hack I normally use in these cases, namely clicked on the last post on the home page and started clicking my way to the previous post to that one, then to the previous to that one, etc., but after clicking like that for like 10 minutes I gave up.
Then these people go off and start asking friggin questions about their blog posts not ranking and shit like that, and Matt Cutts goes on explaining about those posts moving off the home page etc. and yet everybody believes blogs are the new SEO but nobody friggin bothers to ask themselves a question: why would my friggin posts rank if my friggin blog navigation sucks??? I am not going to point my finger at anybody in particular as there are shitloads of bloggers like that and even some good buddies of mine have blogs where navigation sucks but heck dudes, next time you choose the layout for your blog, even if you don’t give a f#ck about your blog posts ranking anywhere think of this: it might be IrishWonder or somebody even more important and famous losing their patience and not leaving a comment on your blog just cause your navigation sucks! 😉
