Jakob Nielsen’s Top Ten Weblog Design Mistakes
You might think that Jakob Nielsen is a clown, but … the man usually has a point. He discusses what he sees as the top ten Weblog design mistakes, and in reading his points and his explanations, I think they make sense.
For those playing the home game, I violate #1, #3, #7, #8, and #9 to varying degrees.

Of course, it doesn’t sound like he’s writing this for people that really are just keeping a personal record of their life. I’m pretty sure I violate almost all of them (although I do have a picture and a biography), but I don’t think it’s going to be a problem for the purpose I have for my blog.

It really seems he’s targeting the superbloggers; those folks who go beyond the “I washed my dog today and then ate lunch” crowd.
October 20th, 2005 at 12:13Yeah, people who’re blogging for identity and to make points and direct conversations, instead of those seeking to build a narrative and relationships.
