Well, I don't actually hate .NET blogs but I definitely dislike the way how they often don't play nice with non-IE browsers. For example, try Steve Eichert's blog with Mozilla FireFox.
Luckily, I usually read the RSS feeds which work just fine as long as the feed includes full entries.
I know all about the 90+ percent marketshare that IE has but if you're running a technical weblog, the numbers just might look a bit different and you might want to consider testing with FireFox/Netscape as well...
This is not a directed attack against Steve (whose blog I love to read!) but a plea to the .NET blogging community in general. Please, don't forget the little people. Even if I am developing in Java for a living.

Re: Why I hate .NET blogs
Lasse,
Unfortunetly a lot of the "skins" out there for .Text suck in Firefox. My current skin looks ok in Firefox which is one of the only reasons I'm using it. I'm with ya though with the "don't forget the little people." ;-)

Hi Steve,
Your current skin does indeed look ok in Firefox. In fact, I should probably take a look at the other .NET blogs in my blogroll again to see if the others display ok as well -- it's been a while...
