My blog-hopping pet peeves
Good morning!
Blog-hopping is one of the integral part of being a blogger, no matter our niches, as it’s not rare that most of us will only interact with each other. I try to do so as much as I can, whenever I have a bit of time, like before bed or on my break at work. A way that I find particularly useful and easy, is participating in those #writerslift or blogging train on twitter, where you like/retweet and comment on a few of the linked post along with linking one of your own posts.
Blog-hopping; the act of “surfing” to other blogger’s blog post, and leaving them a comment.
Because i’m one lazy individual, most times I do so on my iPhone 😅 though ofcourse it can be much easier on a computer, sometimes I just.. don’t feel like fetching it and use my tablet or phone instead. That being said, there’s a few things that can leave me slightly annoyed and refusing to leave my comment on that particular blog post.
- Wix or Blogger
I find thoses platforms are the worst to leave a comment on.. and especially when you’re not on a computer. I’d say Blogger is the slightly less worst of the two as atleast I can use my google account. - “You have to sign in to leave a comment”
I’m not good with passwords, okay.. so having to create a new account for anything usually pisses me off 😅 This is particularly an issue with Wix, as I cannot use any of my accounts, and I need a specific account “following the user’s blog” and it’s just.. too much trouble for me.
- Need to open in another browser
I bloghop using wordpress reader most of the time, or bloglovin’ on my ipad, so having to click on a link to go on the website itself is sometimes an issue for me.. especially when i’m on limited time like on my break, for exemple. Depending on my mood, if all the blogs that I cross are like that, I might just change my mind altogether and stop bloghopping. - My comment get eaten, thus needing to re-do it
This isn’t the website’s fault per say.. but sometimes pressing the slightest of buttons will just- make your comment dissapear if you mistakenly click on something 😩 probably the no.1 reason that i’ll ragequit, aha.
What are your blog-hopping pet peeves?
Do you usually use a computer or your phone/tablet?

I used to have blogger and it’s incredibly frustrating for leaving comments! Honestly one of the big reasons I ditched it for WordPress which has it’s own issues 😉 but is still less frustrating!
Oh yeah! Madness. 🤦🏽♀️
I definately see wix a bit less often.. but that one you can’t even use a google account- so erhh..
I can’t stand trying to leave comments on my phone, so I use the computer. And I’ve learned to select all and copy my comment before hitting the button in case it gets eaten lol.
Rofl yes I do that too sometimes! But ofcourse, not in the times that I mistakenly hit something & need it 😬
On days i’m just really lazy and don’t wanna whip out the computer ahaha so that works.. that being said, I also use my phone to write posts to edit later on my computer 🤣 so.. a few things bothers me, but nothing too major ahah
These get on my nerves too! I’ve been blogging long enough to remember when Google+ comments were still a thing and I used to refuse to leave a comment on blogs that used them because it forced me to use my full name, and I didn’t want that information out there. Good thing nobody used Google+ and it got shut down 😂
Oooooh I see xD Google+ really failed, didn’t it, ahahah — that’s what confused me, I thought it was the google comments that were supposed to be no longer (which I can clearly still do..), I mixed the two.
