Sign me up for BAM. I have posted the blogroll and linkback to your site to join BAM on three sites:

I do not know why people put music on their blogs. It is like one of the most annoying things to do, right after a million popups and flashing banners.

haha awwww look like one of our offenders doesn’t like being called out for their ‘creativity’ (I actually sort of burst out in a chuckle as I typed that, as calling automatic music on a blog creative is like calling what Jack the Ripper did ‘art’)

Oh, and way to go – using your real name / site address to back up your opinion as well! I have the utmost respect for people who aren’t afraid to stand behind what they believe :)

If you don’t like music on blogs either don’t go to them or have your speakers turned off. It’s their blogs and they can put what they want on them. No one is begging you to go there. I think it’s disgusting that you are black listing people for their creativity. Grow up!

Yes, it gives me a shock when I surf and end up at some dimwit’s rotation of the day. The only time I want to hear music on the net is when I’m logging onto musician’s pages on My Space or I’m looking for songs on their website. Keep it off the blogs. I also very rarely look at videos on blogs. I just couldn’t be bothered, especially if they have written nothing to entice me to look.

Hey there! One thing I do struggle with a little is the grammar, but I am lucky, I live with a dutch boyfriend and also bought a very good grammar book (from the teach yourself range).

Because I am eu, I dont have to take that stupid burgerthing that non eu citizens have to take….

If you need dutch lessons you can attend a british school, its a little expensive but its well worth the money and it wont be that hard for you to get to either.

Need info, e-mail moi ;D

I figured BAM meant “Bitching And Moaning” but then read enough to realize what it really is.

Hahahaaha! Good rant!
I never have my speakers turned on.
I do that because I am fond of playing Pogo games and I don’t like the repetative noise that comes out of the screen with certain scores or moves.
Once in a while I see a curious video I want to look at.
That is one time I find out how much musack is on the blog.
The odd time someone will have musack playing then post a video and the playing music supersedes the stuff I want to hear. BAM!
The other problem, being the no sound blogger I am is that I dont realize when someone has music playing and I try to leave the page in inadvertantly click close or backspace over and over again, not thinking that the music is slowing down the process, then zip! All pages I had up disappeared cuz it finally clicked in and then all my redundant commands of close or back go to work! BAM!
Over the past year I learned that people with slower older computers have a real hard time with moving gifs. Their Java or Flash is not up to date and they have a hard time closing or loading my pages.
I am not perfectly clean yet, as my frappr and my photos on my posts take quite a while to load. But I quickly learned my “coolifying” my blog with moving stuff spell disaster for most readers, so I try to keep it to a minimum. Unfortunately those who like musack like moving gifs and sparkling signs and clipart. Those with the musack are a death sentence for anyone with an old computer. They will lock out the user and the user will have to emergency shut down BAM!(cuz we all know emergency shut down means start up in safe(slow as frozen honey) mode!

How is life in the Netherlands? I am an expat too and I am now attending dutch lessons! I live close to you (in the hague)! Which part of rotterdam do you live in?
