    Cute post! I like the firsrt couple of tips. Easy, simple things anyone can do to make their blog better. I hate going on blogs with ads all over the place, and links on every sqaure inch of space. The asking questions at the end is an interesting one, and I actually prefer not to do it. It just feels like everyone tries to end their posts with a deep question, when I would rather people just comment on what I'm sharing with them, instead of trying to answer one specific question.

    wise words from a blogging veteran. although i have to remind you that i basically wrote your subtitle, and i'm pretty sure i inspired your new simple, black-and-white style. and how come you'll only meet "pretty" bloggers on the beach?!

    These are rather important words of wisdom. I think I need to give my blog a bit of a kick up the ass! I have been thinking about going to a bloggers meetup, but its a scary thought!

    haha, finally got some of that mediterranean fire out of you! though it was a bit hollow since i think we both know you'd pay good money to see my "nerdy" self in swimwear.

    Very wise words- although I am afraid I cannot give up the waffling about my life- it;s the only form of diary I can be bothered to write so I have a record somewhere!

    Oh my gosh...so funny and so so true!! You know one thing that is just getting me lately...is the pointless comments thing. "Follow me and I'll follow you". Argh!! I just have to laugh and delete when they come my way. What's the point of blogging if one is just in it just for a popularity contest?! Thanks for posting:) And I most definitely think I have Times New Roman on my blog as automatic when I changed my layout. Ha...I really need to change that. You had me hooked at this post. Thanks for your sweet comment. x Marisa

    Absolute genius. I want to meet up with other bloggers so badly, but nobody ever comes to this area. Because it sucks. I think that everyone needs to read (and understand) these 10 rules because it makes a world of difference. Just do what you want to do, and you will get followers who like you for being you.
    That sounded incredibly cheesy.
    I need to go puke now.

    Ottimi consigli tesoro. Mi spiace che il mio nuovo header ti abbia lasciato perplessa. La mia era una provocazione. La foto è di uno dei miei fotografi preferiti, Terry Richardson, famoso per le sue foto piuttosto esplicite. Avevo voglia di cambiamento, ma subito rendere chiaro al lettore che il mio è un blog sulle cose che mi piacciono e mi rendono felice!

    Great post and I agree with most. I don't care for short comments but I don't dislike them cause it lets me know who visited and read. I do despise comments that have nothing to do with the post or clearly sent to promote one's own blog or giveaway. I also can't stand 'follow me' requests.

    I do enjoy reading about blogger's day/life though. Allows you to get to know the person behind the outfits.

    Great post! I agree with everything you said! (or what those pictures said lol) I often feel that blogging etiquette is even more complicated than real life interactions! I honestly think it's fine if someone just wants to let you know your blog is nice by just leaving a small short brief comment but the ones that "bug" me are the ones that ask you to follow each other etc. Omg don't even get me started LOL

    Though I must admit, I have my lazy days too where Im just not in the mood to blog, I think not being in the mood and not being inspired are two different things though! Not in the mood means I'll just do it tmr etc. Not being inspired means Im ditching this blog!!!

    True enough, though the only one I would argue about is the one about don't comment about your life.

    One of the most successful blogs "Hyperbole and a Half"'s most popular posts are about her life.
