Big posts or small posts?
May 11th, 2008 by Daelin
I was searching the Internet another day and I found a site where the owner was giving some advices about blogging. He said that it is a good thing to write small posts, but at the end of his post he said posts should be long.
Ok, I am at loss here. Should I write a lot and risk to make my visitors tired and bored or should I write small posts and risk to lose my visitors because they wanted more content?
I don´t like reading long texts and I have noticed that usually a visitor stays on the site just a few minutes. I want to give them the time to read at least the front page posts.
I am sure they won´t read a huge post so I am not going to follow that advice about short posts. Short posts for me are better. I don´t have time to write everyday and I can´t stay for hours posting new content.
Anyway, if I find something that deserves a long post I will write it.

Size is not important – write what you want and how you want to. Sometimes you might want to go on a t length but I find that its usually possible to link to better explanations of arguments without trying to be clever and spending hours “boiling the cabbage” twice.

I guess you are right. English is not my first language and when I write long posts I risk to mispell something.
Thanks for your comment!
