Reading blogs as they are

A few years (or maybe last week? I don't remember), one reader commented they did not know how to navigate my blog. (All my blogs are one column with no sidebars like this blog you're currently reading.) I guess I should have asked them to explain but I didn't want to make a fuss so I let it go.
    Even if you are new to a blog, all you have to do is click on anything (ie, a post header, an image, any word that looks like links, etc), it goes somewhere - is that not simple? Even if you're used to blogs with a sidebar, that shouldn't matter. But that's probably not the problem. I really don't know the problem was. Does anyone know?
    That comment made me think about how blogs are viewed. In the beginning, blogs are designed for large screens (such as a computer) but you can still view them on a small screen (such as a phone) but in a more simplified way mostly as text or just not with a lot of the graphics/images or with the structure of a blog. Now with more powerful phones, viewing blogs is almost like viewing them on a computer only everything's smaller.
    I'm not much of a phone user so I cannot say if viewing a blog on a phone is worst than on a computer screen but the small size does put me off. But I mostly prefer viewing blogs on a computer screen and in a browser and seeing all the elements at once in their proper place and looking at images and graphics at regular sizes. I don't think you get the full experience of a blog on a small screen even if it is designed to look exactly the same as on a computer. 
    Besides, bloggers work hard to get their blog to look a certain way and set up all these little nuggets you probably dismissed or couldn't see too well on a small screen. Mostly, a blogger's hard work deserves to be seen properly.

Do you have problems navigating blogs? Do you prefer to view blogs on a small or large screen?

Pet Peeves About Blogging

I had talked about a lot of blogging pet peeves before so I thought I just list a few that I didn't talk about. Here are three of my blog pet peeves. 

01 - Script, italic or fonts that look like hand writing — Using script fonts and such sparely is fine but if the whole content is using them, I find it hard to read. I know this is a preference and sometimes it looks great but I would prefer to use these sparingly.

02 - Posts that kept on going — I think this feature is only for Wordpress blogs. I have not seen it on any other types of blogs. When I like a new-to-me blog, I like to browse the archive to see what else a blogger have posted, so having older posts keep appearing as you scroll down is not a good way to browse because it's especially daunting if a blogger have years of posts. You can't stop and bookmark and come back to it later. I don't know if this is a template thing or a feature thing but it's definitely one that I wish people would stop using.

03 - Subscribe popup box — It used to be subscribe popup boxes pops up when you go to a blog but now after you press the comment button, it pops up before the comment goes through which I just don't get. It's interrupting the comment process to ask if you want to subscribe – that's dumb and dumber too if I leave another comment, I'll see that same subscribe button again. I do not subscribe to blogs and even if I do, I like to be able to choose to do it and not have a box to remind me every time I comment.

Do you have any blog pet peeves?
