Then at the end I am going to ask for yours.
1. Black Backgrounds~ Hard for "old" eyes to read.
2. Tiny pictures
3. Dark or Blurry pictures~ Except when it is an "art" effect.
4. Backgrounds that run into the posts making the posts difficult to read.
5. Music~ Now I just turn off my computer's sound,
so I have taken care of that one.
6. Small writing~ Again I am old.
7. Lots and lots of words. Especially single spaced, closely packed words. Or long unbroken blocks of writing.
I get word "overload". My mind wanders quickly.
8. Expanded width blogs where multiple lines of writing go all the way across the whole screen~
I find this very hard to read.
9. Really, really big photos~ I am quite happy clicking on smaller pictures to get a good look at things that interest me. Big, big photos make these blogs load very slowly.
10. That takes me to slow loading blogs. More than 5 seconds and I am out of there.
11. Busy, confusing, overloaded blog pages~ Especially ones
with distracting whirling, blinking sidebar "thingies".
12. Writing that is a very light color or has little contrast to the background color. Again, hard to read.
These last two are more just annoyances or frustrations for me.
13. No E-mail Button on Blog Main Page~ Sometimes I want to communicate with a blogger, but would prefer not to leave my message in their comment section.
14. No Translator on non English speaking blogs~ I am interested in what bloggers have to say. This is an easy
widget to add. I am sure our non English speaking bloggers feel the same way about us.
Note: The translations can often be pretty funny, but at least I have some idea what is being said.

Remember this is my PERSONAL list of blog "pet peeves" about style NOT content.
What are your personal blog "pet peeves"? I would especially like to know if you have any about my blog.
If you don't tell me I will NEVER know, and I am blogging for YOUR enjoyment.
Also, if you don't want to leave your "pet peeves" about my blog in the comments, you can click the EMAIL button on my home page. I added about one 2 weeks ago, finally addressing one of my long time reader's "pet peeves".
Edited to add email link tutorial: Here is a link for adding an email link to your home page. I DO NOT mean to add your email address to your homepage.... just a button linked to your email.. See my sidebar for an example.
