How many blogs do you follow?
How many of those blogs do you regularly visit and comment on?
How many of those blogs do you never visit? I bet most of you never visit at least a few. Yes? Then why are you still following them?
I used to follow over 500 blogs! I merely followed many because they followed me first.
What a big mistake that was!
New blog posts were continually dropping onto my WordPress reader and email box.
It wasn’t long before I started to feel overwhelmed by it all and realised I couldn’t possibly read and comment on every new blog post. Only fools try doing that.
Then, I started feeling guilty about not having enough time to visit and comment on every blog I followed.
Something had to change.
I decided to go through all the blogs I followed and unfollow some of them – gulp! Shock horror. Wouldn’t that upset somebody?
Today, I’m following 55 blogs, and I’ve set myself a target of never exceeding a total of 75.
For some, that may seem like a lot of blogs to follow. For others, not enough. But it’s the perfect balance for me.
But what mistakes did I make when following blogs?
1. Following blogs that publish content I had no interest in
Seems obvious, doesn’t it? But look through the list of blogs you follow and count how many of them publish content you’re not interested in reading.
Then, ask yourself why you are following them.
Many of the blogs I unfollowed were blogs that followed my blog first. I felt it polite to follow back even though I had no idea what content they published.
It was like buying a car without having test-driven it first.
Before following a blog, check out some of the posts and ask yourself these two questions.
Does the content interest me enough to keep me coming back?
Does the content motivate me enough to leave engaging comments?
If you answer ‘No’ to the first question, then don’t follow.
Some bloggers you unfollow may unfollow you but don’t get yourself all worked up about it. It’s no big deal.
My blog loses followers almost every day. If readers no longer find my content interesting, they have every right to unfollow me.
2. Following unfriendly blogs
Two things that I dislike in blog posts are lots of swearing and belittling others. Even worse is swearing in blog post titles. There’s no need for it.
I’m adult enough to know that most adults do swear, but when there’s too much of it in blog posts, or there isn’t any need for it, then I won’t follow.
The same goes for bloggers who publish content that belittles other people or criticises them for how they live, look, write or talk.
By all means, warn readers at the beginning that a post contains swear words or may offend, but never swear at or criticise others in the post or comments section.
If you think you’ll be offended by the content on a blog or in its comments section, don’t follow it.
3. Following non-engaging blogs.
While reading blog posts, remember to check the comments section to see if the blogger responds to them. If the comments are all one-way, think seriously before following and commenting.
If they don’t respond to comments (especially on their ‘about‘ page), ask yourself if the blog is worth following.
If the content is interesting, then, by all means, follow, but think hard about whether it’s worth trying to engage with the blog host.
If they do respond, look at the way they respond. Are they lazily interacting with their readers? Do they respond to all comments in the same dull, non-engaging manner (e.g. ‘Thanks for reading!’)?
Even though a blogger may respond to all the comments, if they are not engaging with their audience, ask yourself if it’s worth leaving comments and following their blog.
4. Following blogs that could damage your health
There are lots of things that can damage your health when online. For example, too much screen time, addiction to social media and reading too many negative articles or comments.
One of the worst things that can happen to a blogger is feeling overwhelmed, stressed or guilty. This usually occurs when they can’t keep up with reading blog posts or leaving comments. It also happens when a blogger feels obliged to read and comment on other blogs simply because that blogger follows and comments on their blog.
Don’t feel obliged, guilty, or stressed because certain bloggers comment on your posts.
If you’re following blogs that you believe publish too many daily posts, think about unfollowing them or turning off notifications for those posts when they are published.
Of course, we can ignore all those posts, but don’t fall into the trap of thinking you could miss out on something if you don’t read or comment on them all.
Remember to make the most of setting up to receive notifications on a daily or weekly basis rather than every time somebody publishes a new post. This gives you the power to pick and choose which posts to read.
5. Following ghost blogs
I’ve mentioned it many times before, but the first thing I now do before deciding whether or not to follow a blog is to visit its ‘about’ page. If there isn’t one, I consider it a ‘ghost blog.’
If there isn’t an ‘about’ page, it isn’t easy to find, is outdated, or doesn’t contain any interesting information, I won’t follow.
Why? I want to find out about the person behind the blog before deciding whether to follow it.
If the site owner doesn’t care about having an ‘about’ page or updating it, the rest of their blog could also be outdated and not worth your time.
A blogger who does not care about their blog won’t care about their audience.
6. Following uncared-for or neglected blogs
If a new blog I’m visiting is eye-catching, well-organised, easy to navigate, has excellent content, feels friendly, and seems a great place to be, I will press the follow button.
After all, if it looks and feels good and the content is interesting, I will likely read posts and leave engaging comments.
If a blog’s design is poor, it takes too long to download, it uses a font that is too small to read, it has a brightly lit background that produces stars in front of my eyes, it hasn’t been updated in years, or it has lots of broken links, then I’ll move on quickly.
If a blogger doesn’t care about their blog, they are unlikely to care about their audience.
7. Following the blogs of trolls
We talked about checking out responses a blogger leaves to comments on their posts, but are those responses written in a friendly manner? And do they leave unfriendly comments elsewhere?
Because we blog or leave reviews, not everyone will agree with what we have to say.
I’ve witnessed many rude comments from the host and readers on many blogs.
I’ve been the victim of rude and unfriendly comments on other blogs where I’ve left a friendly comment. If the host of a blog responds to me in an unfriendly manner, I’ll unfollow their blog.
If a blog host allows other followers to attack readers without taking action, I will unfollow them.
I always respond to comments in a friendly, courteous, and professional manner, even if a reader disagrees with my words.
If there’s evidence of a blogger attacking somebody because they have not agreed with all or some of the content in a post or in the comments section, consider whether it’s worth following that blog.
Blog hosts should do all they can to prevent trolls from commenting on their posts. If they don’t, they probably don’t care much or have any concern about the welfare of their audience.
By all means, if the content of that blog still interests you, you can still follow and never leave any comments, but be careful when reading negative responses to comments, as they can often affect your mood.
Whatever you do, though, never respond to unfriendly comments by attacking the person who has left them. Leave the trolls alone. They’ll soon get fed up with not getting the attention they crave and will move on.
I’m looking for 20 new blogs to follow. If you’d like to recommend any, please leave a link to that blog and a couple of sentences about why I should follow. Please do not just leave a link as it will be deleted.
How many blogs do you follow? Is that number the right balance, or do you need to reduce the number? What factors are important to you when deciding whether or not to follow a blog? Join the discussion by leaving a comment.

Hugh's Views & News 
I’ve enjoyed this post, Hugh. I’d agree with not following too many blogs as it would turn into my over filled email box.
At times, I prefer searching content from the reader.
For myself, it’s about engaging in conversation and hearing different viewpoints from people around the world.
Glad you enjoyed the read, Kevin.
I often use the search facility on WordPress to look for new blogs to follow and posts to read. It such a shame that on many of the posts, comments have been closed off, though. That means I can’t join the discussions going on so it makes me feel shut-out.
What an excellent post and a great reminder, as well. I follow 148 blogs, many of which are contributors to my prompt. I have whittled it down several times because there is no way I can dedicate my time for proper reading and not just skim and leave. I enjoy a mix of blog content, such as poetry, photography, and blogging tips.
I don’t follow blogs with no About page, and are into politics, religion or use a lot of foul language. Also, if the font is hard to read, the blog is not organized and hard to navigate, and images are slow loading, I don’t follow.
There are plenty quality blogs, such as yours, to follow so I prefer to spend my time where there is like interests and I enjoy the content.
I’m glad you thought this was an excellent post, Eugi. It touches a subject that many bloggers don’t like talking about.
148 blogs seems a lot to follow, but given that you host a challenge I can see why you follow so many. I like a good mixture of blog content too, all of which I’ve outlined on my ‘about’ page.
It is a touchy subject, Hugh, but one we all have to deal with. Yes, 148 is a lot to follow, and time for me take another inventory.
Another thought-provoking post, Hugh. After reading this blog post, my first action was to check how many blogs I follow—52, apparently! I have been suffering from blogger’s guilt recently because life events (my eldest son’s wedding, in Porto!) have got in the way of my blogging; writing, reading, and commenting. Having had a serious talk with myself, I concluded that blogging is my happy place, so no room for negativity 😊
Absolutely the right attitude, June. No need to stress ourselves when we can’t get to blogs to read and leave comments. There’s a whole world out there away from the blogging world. Let’s keep blogging fun!
Absolutely, Hugh! Thanks for your reassuring comment.
I probably don’t follow enough blogs Hugh, though I have started following a couple of photographers blogs which make a nice change and the quality of the photos are inspiring. But although I don’t follow that many, I do feel like it’s enough. It has to be something really interesting to make me follow a blog now.
If it’s enough, leave the number as it is, Paul. I see little point in following blogs that we never visit again. It’s a bit of a fool’s game. Only follow if you know you’ll definitely visit again.
There are some fantastic photography blogs here on WordPress. I follow a few, too.
This post was a great one to read as I have experienced the same types of feelings as you described. My biggest thing was usually the guilt of not keeping up with the reading. Now that I’ve retired, I do have more time on my hands and I am able to spend more time blogging and reading, but with anything in life, there has to be a balance. I enjoyed reading through the comments of your readers too.
The comments often make reading the post more interesting than the post, Michael. I get a lot of inspiration for new posts from reading comments sections of some blogs, especially when a proper discussion occurs. Those discussions make me want to come back to those blogs again and again.
When I comment on a post, I enjoy reading what others are saying. It adds a different perspective I think.
Yes, you’re right. And I don’t mind anyone disagreeing with me, providing they do it in a friendly manner.
What a great post! I don’t know how many I follow, but I have like 2-3 blogs that post multiple times per day. The majority writes maybe 1-2 times per week. Then I have a lot that blog once in a blue moon.
I’ve cleared my list a lot. Also the people that I follow that posts multiple times per day, have started to write a little less and it shows 😂 in the feed. It’s like now I almost have time to add a blog or two to my list to follow, but I’m scared as well to do so.
I’ve unfollowed blogs because they started writing crap, like you mentioned, belittling people and it upset me that I haven’t noticed that behavior from the start.
Thank you no matter what. This is a very important topic for people in the blogosphere to know about. Also I do hope you still follow my blog and that you like what I write.
In the 10 years I have blogged, I’ve yet to find a blogger who can publish good-quality posts multiple times a time. Posts often look rushed, but many are what I call ‘samey’ where the content is the same and the comments are the same, usually from the same people who say nothing more than, ‘Another great post.’ For me, all of this goes into making a boring blog.
I’d recommend setting yourself a limit on how many blogs you follow and sticking with that figure. Don’t be afraid to follow blogs that publish content that interests and motivates you to engage, especially if you have space for following more blogs. If you’ve reached your limit, unfollow a blog before following a new one. I have a cull once every six months and remove a lot of blogs that have not published new content in over 6 months, so there is usually room for new ones to follow.
I read some of your posts, but only the ones that interest me or those with an eye-catching title. I may not read all of the posts if I don’t find them interesting enough. Of all the 55 blogs I follow, none publish posts that I read all of.
All of that makes perfect sense, so thanks for answering and telling me more about how you feel. I can understand that not all titles are masterpieces on the blog 😂,
I should really be more “critical” with what I choose to read, but I’ve stated several time that I read all of everything that a blogger writes and then like the post, to show I read it.
It is perhaps a stupid strategy, but my brain is not normal 😂 so this is what’s currently working at least.
Just be careful when reading everything on all the blogs you follow. I’ve witnessed many bloggers get overwhelmed and feel guilty when they can’t keep up. Nobody is under any obligation to read and comment on posts because that blogger does the same on yours. And nobody needs to prove they’ve visited a blog. Remember that some bloggers press the ‘like’ button without reading the post. Sometimes, the same blogger will click the ‘like’ button on lots of my posts within a few seconds of each other. They haven’t read them; all they do is try to get noticed.
And sorry if I came over a little too harsh in my previous comment. I don’t want anybody to think I read all their posts when I don’t.
Yeah it does make sense. I click the like button as well because then I also know I’ve read it. Since I read all the posts from everybody, the like button is a good tool to help me keep check of all the posts.
Still, if I’d only read what interests me, id only feel guilty because of the system I’ve setup.
I wrote about this just a few days ago so to change it now would also feel wrong.
There’s nothing wrong with clicking the ‘like; button when you’ve read a post and have enjoyed reading it. It’s when it’s clicked for the wrong reasons that I disagree with (like the example I gave in my previous comment).
But don’t we all just read what interests us? I’m not sure it’s a system. It’s what we enjoy reading.
I will think about it and see if I’ll change anything. It would allow me to read far more blogs if I did.
Thanks for this timely reminder Hugh, I fall into many of these categories. I will be doing a purge soon 🙂
I hope you feel better after doing your purge, Alison. Decluttering the number of blogs I follow has always been very good for my mental health and well-being.
Much of this is similar to my blogging journey. Having too many blogs takes the fun out of this hobby. It shouldn’t be like a job. I rarely add a new blog now because I’m maxed out now. If I add one, I usually drop another that’s largely been inactive. The blogs that are first to go for me are those who do nothing but self promote. Some of that is appropriate, especially for indie authors, but if all someone ever writes about are their books and latest reviews, I probably won’t be around for the ride. Content is king.
Blogging should never become a chore, but if it’s a job, I can see why, Pete. Seeing many good bloggers give up on blogging saddens me because they allowed it to become a chore, which took away the enjoyment.
While a bit of self-promotion is understandable, especially for those who find it challenging, an excessive focus on it can lead to disengagement. Like you, I too will unfollow a blog if it becomes too promotional.
I agree. Content should always be more important than quantity.
Lot of Lot of interesting points, most of them do apply to me, and I am asking myself lot of these questions, some day, beside every day task that interfere with blogging, and mainly practicing my art, I do qualify as such..:) I spent a lot of time reading, much more rarely commenting, at least most of the blogs I do comment on are answering and are of the engaging or encouraging type…we need those..:) Now it is not as bad since I am entirely retired, but still I found myself trying to focus on important things, so yes I guess I should go through my too numerous blogs on my list and concentrate on my Art and also try to spent my time on things that bring something to me, not the last, something I am not good at, putting my works on display and offering it if anybody do like it. Thanks for this well thought post, I should mark it to come back to it.
I agree that more engaging bloggers and readers are needed. Too many bloggers leave short, non-engaging comments simply to prove they visited. It’s a mystery why they feel they need to do that. I agree that time can play a factor, but I also believe that leaving one engaging comment occasionally is far more beneficial than leaving lots of short, non-engaging comments all over the place.
Culling the number of blogs we follow is very beneficial. Not only does it free up time, but it’s also good for our mental health and wellbeing.
Will try to implement our good ideas :) have a good day and thanks!
I used to play the “Follow You Follow Me” game but have cleaned up my list over the last year or so. Now I try to genuinely read and engage with the blogs I follow. Quality over quantity!
Absolutely, Michelle. It’s one of the reasons I unfollow blogs that publish more than once daily. The quality of the posts suffers because they publish too often.
Ghost Blog…I don’t think I’ve run across one but I’m certainly going to take a closer look.
They are certainly out there, as are ‘Ghost followers’ who follow a blog but never revisit it. They do this in the hope that they will get a follow-back, and if they do, they will then unfollow that blog. It’s all about the numbers rather than the content.
Like social media…
Exactly. I see it happening all the time, especially on ‘X”. Somebody will follow me. I follow them back. Then, the following day when I check the list of accounts I’m following, the ‘follows you’ notification next to their name has disappeared. I then unfollow them.
I’m not checking things like this so I’m very unaware, until reading you.
Some people are only interested in getting as many followers as possible. It’s more of a numbers game to them than being engaging. I’m glad I brought it to your attention.
I reduced the number of blogs I follow dramatically. Still, I only go through the reader when being on WordPress. I can only read as much as I can and I won’t stay up all night to do it. When some are posting several posts a day, I may read one or two and skip the others. Simply because it’s too much. And if I don’t have time to visit posts, I don’t do it.
All good to hear, Erika. I don’t know why some bloggers feel so guilty if they don’t prove they’ve visited every post of the blogs they follow, often leaving short, non-engaging comments just to prove they visited. It’s a fool’s game doing that and usually only leads to feeling overwhelmed and guilty.
Yes, I completely agree. I did not want to become someone like that so I had to find another solution. Simply read what can be read… not more not less. If I have to say something, I do, if I haven’t, I don’t. Not feeling guilty anmyore since I would not expect anyone else to read everything I publish. So, let’s simply enjoy blogging.
Spot on, Erika. Enjoyment is what blogging should be about.
I’ve just checked. I follow 56 blogs but I know some of those are m t publishing (needing to cull) but there are a few that publish periodically so don’t necessarily want to unfollow. I’m happy with my number. I tend to follow the same rules as you when deciding to follow someone. They need to interest me and be actively engaging with their audience. I remember one person who unfollowed me as soon as I dropped her, I found it amusing. I’d rather follow and be followed by people who are genuinely interested
I used to have regulars who would comment on most of my posts, Brenda. Then, when I had the first significant cull, and they realised that I’d unfollowed their blogs, they stopped commenting on my posts. Of course, they may have unfollowed me because they did not find my blog interesting anymore, but what a coincidence that they unfollowed my blog just a few weeks after I had unfollowed them. That lesson only told me that some bloggers will unfollow blogs simply because somebody unfollowed them. I find that kind of action very, very sad.
56 is a good number of blogs to follow. And if it’s the perfect balance for you, go with it.
Back in the day, when I was a raging internet rebel, I built my own server and CMS. Think of it as my personal digital soapbox. I used it to unleash a tidal wave of profanity, all in the name of venting about my crappy job. Surprisingly, people loved it! I guess everyone needed a little digital catharsis.
Fast forward a couple of decades, and I’ve traded in my swear words for tea and biscuits. Or maybe just coffee. Either way, I’m a much calmer person now.
I follow a handful of blogs, including yours, and I’m always on the lookout for new voices. But let’s be real, there’s only so much blog reading a person can do before their brain turns to mush. So I keep my following list short and sweet.
If I stumble upon a new blog that sparks my interest, I’ll leave a comment. And if the blogger replies, it’s like winning the internet lottery! I’m usually hooked from there.
What a great way of summing everything up on this subject.
I get that some people love reading about other people’s chaos and life problems. After all, if we were not all different, life would be very dull. However, I can’t read the blogs of those who do nothing about their complaints, especially when they don’t do anything to help themselves. I see it happening here on WordPress a lot: somebody slams WordPress for everything, yet most users are not experiencing the same problems. The problems usually lay with the user, but they seem to get a lot of pleasure out of blaming anybody but themselves. I roll my eyes whenever anybody says, ‘WordPress has been acting up lately. Everybody is experiencing the same problems.’
That reminds me of the Pink Floyd music video where everyone looks like a carbon copy. Talk about a creepy real-life scenario! I’d be running for the hills if I saw that in person.
And let’s face it, complaining is a national pastime. People love a good pity party. I used to be a master of the art, back when I was venting about my awful job on my old blog. But eventually, I realized that complaining wasn’t getting me anywhere. So I traded in my potty mouth for a business plan and built my own media company. Talk about a satisfying revenge.
Good for you. Complaining doesn’t do anyone any good unless they’re prepared to take action. There are way too many bloggers on WordPress who complain about WordPress all the time but who do nothing about it. Deep down, I think they know that they’re the problem.
I don’t get why they complain about WordPress. If there ever was a CMS to complain about it would be blogger. Lol!
I’ve never used Blogger, but it’s one of the most challenging sites on which to leave a comment. I stopped leaving comments on ‘Blogger’ blogs many years ago, and I hear it’s still a difficult place to engage with anyone.
Oddly enough, I stumbled on another blog and went to comment on their post, and they disabled their comments. NO FOLLOW FROM ME!
Some bloggers choose to close comments on posts after a certain time period to prevent spam. However, since WordPress improved its anti-spam software, the number of visible spam messages in the spam folder has dropped dramatically; therefore, closing post comments after 30 days isn’t valid.
I knew of one blogger who closed comments on her posts after 7 days, saying that 7 days was enough time for readers to read and leave her comments. Of course, this gave her readers a deadline to read her posts. Those are the kinds of blogs I would immediately unfollow, especially since it can take up to a few weeks for me to get to a post to read it. There is also no hope of those finding a post via SEO being able to engage.
Right!?!? Exactly!
Thanks for the reminder to do some more cleaning up, Hugh. I started unfollowing blogs that hadn’t been updated for a while and those that I haven’t had time to interact with, a reminder never goes amiss :)
I don’t know about you, but I see ‘unfollow’ as decluttering, and it always makes me feel good, Cathy.
Yes, it does, Hugh. Decluttering would have been a better description.
Painfully honest post. I’ve always tried to follow blogs so that I have a variety of content to pick from, It would be nice if WP offered the subscriber who clicked that “unfollow” icon an option to leave a quick comment. Just so there is some idea. I usually drop a blog because the content is uninteresting, the blog is hateful or my interests have change – “it’s not you, really.” BTW your desk is way to neat.
I wonder how many people would complete the section asking why they left, Danny. It’s a nice idea, but I think you’d need to be very thick-skinned to read some of those comments. I’m not sure I’d like to know.
I’ve never been able to work from an untidy desk. I work much better with no chaos around me.
I figure no one would complete that section. I’m sure some of the comments would be horrible. I enjoy your blog, keep it up.
Thank you for the great feedback, Danny.
Great advice as usual, Hugh. This can be a sensitive subject! I follow more than I can read. I rarely use the reader probably because my feed is cluttered with posts I don’t read. I set my notifications appropriately and some blogs are set for no notifications. I’ve noticed many of those aren’t engaging with mine, so no worries.
But it’s a good idea to unfollow. I’m still checking my subscribers daily. It’s amazing to see the follows by websites that are incomplete or out to sell goods. Sadly I stay away from certain countries since my FB blog page was hacked 2 years ago.
Blogging should be a fun activity and should not take over our lives.
I unfollowed a couple of blogs yesterday because there had been no activity on them for over 6 months, Terri. They used to publish content weekly. When that happens, I always worry about the host, but it’s more likely they gave blogging up for whatever reason. I also unfollowed a blog that suddenly started publishing lots of posts in a short space of time rather than spreading them out.
I don’t use the WordPress Reader, either. Since I follow only 55 blogs (most of which publish once a week), I can handle the email notifications. I don’t check out the blog of anyone who follows me unless they have left me at least 3 engaging comments. If they do that, I’ll check out their blog, but I will only follow if the content is interesting and motivates me to want to engage. However, if all their posts are full of nothing but lots of short, non-engaging comments (usually from the same people), I won’t follow.
You’re so right – it’s very easy to feel overwhelmed by trying to follow too many blogs. I think these are very useful tips for anyone thinking about who they should follow and why. Thank you, Hugh.
I still witness cries of help from bloggers overwhelmed by all the blogs they follow, thinking they must read and comment on every single post so as not to upset anyone, Esther. It’s classic ‘blogger burnout.’
And then you’re more likely to stop blogging because the enjoyment goes. It’s something I’ve had to work on over time.
I’ve witnessed ‘blogger burnout’ defeat a few excellent bloggers. It’s so sad when it happens. If only they had changed how they blogged rather than given it up.
Excellent points about following blogs that publish content you care about. I’ve followed blogs out of courtesy before and ended up with a cluttered feed. Now, I’m more selective and make sure the blogs I follow offer content that genuinely interests me. Thanks for sharing these valuable tips!👍👌🌷
Ah, that cluttered feed! Usually full of stuff that does not interest you. I’m unsure why somebody once said to me that it’s a courtesy to follow back every blog that follows you. What a big mistake that was.
I’m glad these tips help.
Spot on!
I conducted a little purge some months back. I’m almost down to a manageable level now. I try to comment on as many as possible each day,m but with my own blogs and books to write, this can be quite challenging.
(I see you’re following my author blog, which is much appreciated. ) ;)
I try to visit all the blogs I follow at least once a month and leave an engaging comment. That means I won’t see all the posts they publish, but that’s not a problem.
Yes, I found you through Esther Chilton’s blog, and I enjoy reading your posts.
