If you check your traffic daily and find nothing but tumbleweeds blowing across the landscape of your blog coupled with that chirping cricket noise we equate with loneliness—it’s probably because your blog sucks. Here are ten reasons why it blows, and how to fix it.

4. Music on auto-play. For pete's sake, don’t add music to your site. No one wants to hear a ukelele string quartet as soon as they access your page. It’s distracting, startling and annoying.

5. You use clipart. It looks cheap, and like you didn’t even try.

Read on for all ten reasons your blog might suck, and how to rid yourself of said suck.
