In the last two days, I found the posts in my google reader super boring, there was nothing but Ramadhan greetings and accompanying pictures. which leaves me wondering why some bloggers think it is important to fill their blogs with so unneeded and time wasting posts.
I expect something joyful or useful when subscribing to a blog , if not at least i want to fill curiosity about other lives, but not meaningless and lifeless greetings. it makes no sense and just wastes your and my time.

** This applies also to the posts of ‘it’s been long since i last updated‘ or ‘i’ll be away for a while‘ type.
Bloggers you need to wake up, nobody cares about you being away or not updating.

I some how disagree about not missing a blogger when away for a while and not updating!
There s always something you like or reminds you of yourself that makes you read other bloggers, it could be your dream that never came true some one else is achieving
As much as I respect every update a blogger makes and read it instantly, I think a blogger should give back and respect the reader
Like if MBC is going to stop showing a series for a month , out of respect, they announce earlier =)

But that is MBC! and that is TV. you will waste time if you expected to watch a show and it didn’t come, this is not the case in blogs and feed readers, you got only the updates and it seriously need not be mere announcements

اهلا آمنة
انا اختلف معاج في الرأي و اشوف ان
التهاني شي جدا مهم في المدونات
لأنه اذا الواحد صار له فترة يدون
و بعدين رد رجع على تدويناته القديمة
بيجوف التهاني تبع المناسبات مثل رمضان, عيد الاضحى, عيدالفطر, العيد الوطني , الخ …
و بيصير يعرف سنته التدوينية اشلون كانت مثل الفترة بين رمضان و الاضحى كان يكتب وايد
خف شوي في الفترة اللي بين العيد الوطني و الامتحانات
هاذي شغلة, اما الشغلة الثانية فالتهاني تحرك المدونات و تخلي فيها نوع من النشاط
مثل اذا مدونة صار لج من زمان ما زرتيها, صادف زرتيها للتهنئة فاكتشفت انه انكتبت فيها اشيا واايد حلوة , و المتابعة تتجدد
شكرا على البوست و مبارك عليج الشهر 🙂

You need to realize that the majority of blog readers do not use feed readers…

or better said,
not all blog readers use feed readers for following their favorite blogs.

Amjad, i always fail to realize this, i always make assumption that the blogs are read thru readers.
In my reader, it disappoints me when i see many posts unread to discover at the end there was nothing but greetings, but then, it may be my way of looking at things.
