I've mentioned before that I rarely get hits from weblog directories. After musing about that, I visited those directories (or at least the ones that I remembered I had submitted to) and realized that some of them have a little feature where people can rate your site. Not surprisingly, my scores are pretty low. My online persona isn't terribly interesting (let alone my real life persona)--I don't have any wild and revealing stories to tell and even if I did, I wouldn't be writing them here. My site design isn't innovative or particularly clever. It's sparse and not exactly pretty. So if anyone was grading on aesthetics, I might as well get a zero.
Or, people could just hate it. "It's just another blog by a stupid college student!" they might say. Although I might argue that the statement makes it mediocre rather than singularly detestable.
But then again it would be totally boring and not exactly challenging, wouldn't it, if everyone liked your website?
