A few months back I came across a Y&R blog called "Mr. Brooks Genoa City News". The blog can be found here: http://www.mrbrooksgenoacitynews.net/
The blog is written by a fan who is obviously really passionate about the show. Most days I really enjoy checking out Mr. Brooks' insights and thoughts about my favorite soap. However, there a few (admittedly nitpicky!) things about this blog that sort of make my brain sizzle in pain.
- Why does Mr. Brooks INSIST on using (well, mis-using) apostrophes? Where he should use them (like in the title of the blog!) he doesn't. Yet, it would seem that when he refers to himself (in third person!) he almost ALWAYS puts an unnecessary (and totally incorrect) apostrophe. Mr. Brooks, this is third grade grammar.
- Why does Mr. Brooks center his posts? Maybe I really am just a curmudgeon, but this seems strange and distracting to my eyes.
- Why are comments not allowed? In my opinion, one of the quintessential features of a blog is the comments left by readers. They are often great to read and add an interactive component that you don't get in many other places. In his defense, the blog does contain a message board, but I really still miss the comment section other blogs include with each post.
- Why doesn't Mr. Brooks post contact information? If it is there, I sure haven't seen it.
