I was undecided as to what my title would be so I tried some keywords came upon your blog with this post. Our ideas are similar and I feel the same as you and have run into a couple of blogs lately that have really tried my patience. After reading their post and liking or wanting to add my 2 cents in a comment then to find that they are requiring me to sign in with passwords or whatever!! I just will leave that blog and move on. Thanks, nice blog and I'll be back for more. jj I 100% agree, in fact I am just getting ready to publish a post that I’ve been working on today.

As a rookie blogger I had a a hard time editing the templates that wordpress provides to show..comments, calendar (links to previous posts) and setting the number of posts to display before archiving. Some templates just aren't as user friendly as they could be..but they are free and I guess we can't be choosers! I fully agree with your post to an extent.

Your site also loads fairly quickly for me too. The only major suggestion I would make would be to individualize your site. Your blog theme looks to be the standard plain blogger template. Modify it by putting a unique header on it, or find a template that suites the style of your blog and modify it to make it your own style and or pay someone to make a custom theme. Having said that - yeah I know I haven't done much with the theme I'm using on this blog but certainly on my more personal blogs I've customized the themes to be more "me".

As you can tell from my post those are all things that I appreciate when it comes to navigating a site easily. Your background image - the title of your site right? loads quickly. I do find that sites that have a black background and white or almost white text are a little harder to read than some of the other sites but the color choice of your blog is yours to make. I think your text is not a true white so it's not that hard to read. If you wanted to make it even a tiny bit easier to read you could experiment with your text colors trying a very light gray as this some times makes sites with black backgrounds a lot easier to read. As I said though, your site isn't too hard to read as you might have optimized the text color already.
