How many widgets does it take to get an iced out Blog?

It amazes me how people comes up with all of these surveys, widgets and other Blog Stuff to keep us occupied online. There are so many tools to pimp out a blog that it may be hard to know when one has gotten out of hand. Bloggers can receive better results if they avoid layout and design choices that overwhelm or annoy their readers.

There are some blogs that use fun questionnaires, animations and other stuff that makes you get attached to your computer/laptop. What some bloggers do not seem to pay attention to is the fact that these items can overshadow their blog. Now, the limit may be difficult to determine because blogs are designed the same. Until then, I suppose we will continue to load our blogs with fun items to keep ourselves and our readers from being bored. I tend to like some widgets and questionnaires so I may implement them as I deem fit for this blog. If they do not provide any form of entertainment or useful information, I may decide to skip these surveys or interactive widgets altogether. There is one fun badge that I found that generates a film rating for blogs. The rating is similar to the ones that they give movies when they come out, so I may check that out soon. It should be fun!
