Doing it over with fancy things and unnecessary delays
It’s simple and straightforward! If you overdo with the website or blog and add up too fancy templates, borders to other things it will take hell lot of time to load and show up the major information.
People don’t spend this much of time, struggling on various things. Especially, today when most of the people are viewing content on their mobile phones, you definitely need to double check whether everything will load speedily or not.

Lacking social media links as well as no compatible commenting system
Today, one-sided communication doesn’t run the world! You must focus on true interaction with your customers, and design everything in a certain way that represents and targets them.
You can never avoid their reviews and thus, a comment box for them to put their suggestions and views is extremely essential. Also, make sure that with every post there are relative social media links.

The ill-structured writing style, vocabulary, grammar, and text editing skills
As already talked above, visual attraction and aesthetics are much important and valued than any other thing.
They deliver your first impression upon the readers and make them further decide whether your blog is worth reading or not. You must always make sure that your blog is written in a perfect manner.
Follow all professional structures like adding a good title, introduction, body, subheadings, bullet points, facts, quotes( if necessary) and a good conclusion that can keep them hooked till the end. If they find your first para itself as not linked with the title, they won’t read it further.
Within the text, comes editing as well. Know when to keep the text left aligned, justified or in the center. Use proper font size.
Don’t unnecessarily capitalize any word and don’t use an extremely fancy font which looks like patterns and not words. Keeping it simple and crisp is the best way to attract more and more readers.
You can definitely add other visuals to experiment, but it’s better if the text stays simple and easy to read. Use proper margins and don’t leave blank spaces.
Customizing the blog or website only for PC
This is aging, one of the greatest blunder that people do! We all know that mobile phones are on our nerves these days, and one can’t avoid their significance at all.
Make sure that your blog page, article or the website is completely customized as per various devices like tablets, mobile phones, and others. People cannot always carry their laptops everywhere they go and thus, a mobile phone is your instant messenger, newspaper, and your buddy in every situation.

Make sure you use proper fonts and other details that go well with the screen sizes and devices.

So, always avoid such things and keep an eye on what you do?
And how you do?
your content definitely matters, but at the end of the day, it’s the whole design and appearance of the website and blogs that attract the people.
