Are Really Long Blog Posts a Good Idea?
I try to do a reasonable amount of social networking in the blogosphere. This, obviously, involves reading what other bloggers post. Some bloggers make frequent posts of 500 words or less… sometimes much less. Occasionally, I find blogs with very long posts of 1500 to 2500 words. I have to be really engaged by the subject matter to read that many words. If it is a subject of which I have a strong opinion, I sometimes resort to skimming with the intention of finding a point on which to comment.
I think I will start drafting a very long blog post now, just to see if the practice is worthwhile. I am not going to write a really long blog post about really long blog posts, that would be silly.
