I often wonder the same thing. I often have difficulty getting it all out without putting too much blah blah in! Sometimes I get to the point too fast and miss a couple steps! @ James

Thank you for the kind words.

I often wonder the same thing. I often have difficulty getting it all out without putting too much blah blah in! Sometimes I get to the point too fast and miss a couple steps!

If I'm researching something or trying to learn something then, yeah I don't mind a long post at all. And you are right about the attention span, I'm "most people". I just don't have time and I want to visit lots of sites! Hey Kim: Glad to see you stop by! If I’m researching something or trying to learn something then, yeah I don’t mind a long post at all.

I know I can be long-winded. I think people should still write long posts if they want to but then break them into 2-3 parts and make it part of a series. <abbr><em>Kim Woodbridge’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.kimwoodbridge.com/anti-social-lists-102608/" rel="nofollow">(Anti) Social-Lists 10/26/08</a></abbr></em> I don’t mind a long post if it is something I’m especially interested in but most people online don’t have long attention spans so it’s best to make posts shorter.

It's the "blah, blah, blah" for the first 500 words promising something great that is a time stealer! It is hard to judge your own posts! Sometimes I think I cut it too short and don't get the WHOLE point out! That's another post - a good number of visitors yet very little comments? hmmm @ Ian
