Plugins, Widgets and Blinkies

I do not spend 100% of my time online writing posts. I read online publication especially current events and magazines. I read blogs. But there is that thing about SOME blogs that are not very appealing to me.

Why?

 

There is just way TOO MANY or TOO MUCH (because I can’t count every one) of these things:

  • blinkies
  • plugins
  • widgets
  • awards
  • video
  • audio
  • kilometric blogroll
  • what-have-yous

Feeds and other forms of subscriptions to the blog are ok with me. Archives and post categories can be compressed or maybe not, because these are the blog’s own records. Links or blogroll can be put in a separate page. As much as possible, do not put too many or is it too much blinkies, plugins, widgets, video, audio, whatever seem nice to the eyes but not really necessary. Not only does it make the blog looked cluttered, it doesnt look good to have a kilometric page when the permalink is just a two-three inches long.

My suggestion? Have these in separate pages. We do not need to see every badge, every award, every blinky, every plugin, every video, every photo posted in Flicker, even every book in an online bookshelf that the blog owner has, on the main blog’s page itself.

Am I just too criticizing?
