HERE'S something that captured my attention: 34 Reasons Why Readers Unsubscribe from Your Blog. A quick look a
t the list indicates two things: content and form. Good content lands you eyeba
lls. But form makes content easier to read. My personal blog has gone through transformation. But I
eventually decided to stick to its current form and style. It's milky-white an
d it's very minimalist. I took this form from an advice of J. Angelo Racoma who also believes in KISS.
I will also venture into other suggestions: content should be original and inte
ractive. As pointed out, readers hate information overload. This came out as th
e number one reason why they unsubscribed. Remember, people online are usually
compulsive clickers. If they find posts too long, they move on.
INQUIRER.net editor Nonoy Espina comments that this is exactly what news writin
g is all about. ;-)

Thanks for posting the link to the Problogger article. I spent a whole hour rea
ding the site's archives!
I think even if you're writing a personal blog, it would be good to follow some
guidelines too so you can reach out to more readers.
Hope you'll come up with more tips soon. :)
frequent downtime could also be a reason
