TPAF Scores Highly for the Top Ten Weblog Mistakes

Having read the link provided by Rowen which details the top 10 weblog design mistakes, it seems that TPAF is a disaster, and it's no wonder that it wallows in obscurity!

Shamelessly plagiarising Anonymous Lefty's treatment of the subject, here's a rundown of how bad things can get ..

1. No Author Bio: Well, it's been something I've been meaning to do for ages, now done. I haven't given all my details, preferring a degree of anonymity; see point nine for the main reason.
2. No Author Photo: Sort of fixed. See previous point.
3. Nondescript Posting Titles: I don't do too badly here.
4. Links That Don't Say Where They Go: Just click on them and find out!
5. Classic Hits are Buried: And will stay that way.
6. Calendar is the Only Navigation: The Pigs doesn't even have a calendar ...
7. Irregular Publishing Frequency: Guilty as charged, my lord! Seems to me that there are only three professions that allow regular blogging; being a student, an academic or a journalist. All the other poor sods have to blog in between work and family commitments.
8. Mixing Topics: The topics of this blog are the things that interest me. Surely everyone's interested in politics and AFL footy??
9. Forgetting That You Write For Your Future Boss: Actually, the greater worry is my present one. See point one.
10. Not Owning a Domain Name: No problem there, it's all mine.

Score of three out of ten. Similar to my year six divinity exam.
