Short posts
May 22nd, 2008
So quick question for you all and I might after I post this question change the poll with this question (because the poll is now woefully out of date).
Do you when you regularly read a blog mind really short posts every once and a while or do you feel that you’re wasting your time visiting if all you get is one paragraph?
Just wondering because sometimes I just want to put something out there and it just doesn’t warrant a longer post.

I rather enjoy the shorter blog entries. Much easier to read
Of course that said I’m guilty of always attempting to write a book with each of my blog entries.

Blog posts are what you (the blogger) make them.
Short is just as good as long depending on the topic at hand.
Just do whatever floats your boat.

I like them. Especially when my reader is full.
Short, long, fat, thin…whatever I say. It’s YOUR blog.

Yeah, I’m down with the short post. If that’s all it takes to say what you want to say, say it short.
The only kinds of posts I’m not thrilled with are the ones that are just a link to something with no accompanying thoughts.

When you read a lot of blogs, short posts make a refreshing change. I should try and do more of them myself!

Marita - I just worry that if I don’t say enough people won’t be interested in coming back.

Bettina - just need to pick and choose my topics - sometimes I only have a very small point to make on something and then it will be appropriate - just have to work out a balance I’m comfortable with.

No need to worry about that Lee. I enjoy visiting your blog no matter the length of the post. [insert standard size does not matter joke here]

I must admit Lightening that occasionally I’ve been relieved to get to a site and notice that the post is small and therefore quick to read and comment on!

Jeff - I know what you mean, I’m guilty of it occasionally in the past when I’ve popped a youtube video up with little or no commentary. But I felt bad each time

Rol - I guess I’ve got to find a balance - for my own sanity if nothing else!

I’ve only ever disliked one of your posts, and that was a long one (no, I’m not going to say which one) ;-p
Please keep posting whatever you want to.

Ian - fine, now I’m going to go and delete everything from yesterday back to track down the shoddy post LOL.
An interesting thing about the odd short post is sometimes I just want to know what you guys think about something.
