Bloggers' likes—and dislikes!

Three days into the Blog Friends public beta, and a picture of the most common interests and dislikes of bloggers (as told us by our users) is beginning to emerge. Interesting for me, as a musician, to see music at the top of the likes list. Some of the dislikes are quite funny: I have highlighted my favourites for your chortling convenience.
