My Blogging Is Too Long Winded
I'll try to make this short.
I think my blog posts are way too long.
I actually write a great many more posts than actually make it onto this blog. Maybe you have noticed that many if not most of my posts tend to be fairly lengthly by most blog standards.
Take a post about Firefox I am working on for example.
Long winded and boring?
A few weeks ago I started working on a post about my favorite Firefox extensions. Now, I could just make a list of them and leave it at that. But no, not me. I have to write a post that takes up several pages of the notebook I wrote it in. This post will take me an hour to type in. After that, I still need to create graphics and add the links. I am looking at several hours of work just to publish a post that I have already written.
Add to this the fact that I can be lazy sometimes.
Especially when I have already done a lot of the work and still have the fiddly stuff to do. You can see how this is going. If I ever want you to see that post (and many others suffering the same fate) I need to adjust the way I blog and publish posts.
So, look for shorter posts here from now on.
This way, I can do my writing with pen and paper, the way I think best. Then I can publish it without too much trouble. I should be able to get more of my scribbles out for the world to see. One small post at a time.
Now my problem is I need to break up that Firefox extension post.
Do you as a reader prefer shorter or longer posts?
Not just here but at other blogs.

But long winded posts are the key to making money blogging. Write a lengthy and boring post, then stick a couple of Ads right smack in the center of the post. Readers will be so bored that they will click on anything to get out! LOL.
Costas last blog post..Increasing Your Click Through Rate
I think to Do Short post and put the some Ads. and put the ads on the content for specific words.
Personally, I prefer not too long posts. This one today is fine, maybe even a bit longer is fine too. Keep up the good work!
Long posts are okay but can be boring. If you put photos to in a post it gets more "readable"
For marketing reasons shorter posts are also better – you can focus on 1 or two problems and it will be easier to find it online.
The blogs without any traffic from Google will never have the chance to be shared with the world. In order to increase your traffic, you must optimize your blog so that Search Engines are attracted to it. Which is also known as SEO (Search Engine
i prefer short post and articles but they must be informative.
why i like short posts? because u get fast all important infortmations and dont need to read a long text for the same sens.
Most users like short post i think, why? because they get all important infortmations fast and dont need to read an half hour for one text. in an short text u can get the same infortmations like in an long one.
Who told you this. I really like the way you posting because i just don't need to click any where to read the same subject post which you've made.
I like your posts and enjoy reading them so for me the longer the better. On most blogs however long posts are usualy boring because people just start repeating themselves and talk about unrelated stuff.
To be quite honest, it depends on the topic, however, think of it from a reader's perspective, most likely they are looking to find as much information as they can. As long as the post is on target, the readers will enjoy your website and stay longer
My vote is long posts.
Till then,

I like long posts. They usualy cover every topic more extensively. And that's why I'm reading afterall. If I wanted short info I'd go on wikipedia.

I think it depends on the post, if you write long posts it captures and audience that is detail oriented. However most of us skim, so the firt paragraph is the most important to get their attention. I like the length today.
I've been accused of this before. After cutting down my readership did increase. Its a tough one to keep to though as you find yourself wanting to write more and more.
Personally I feel like long copy is the way to go, it pleases both sides of spectrum. Because… people who prefer short copy are likely to skin anyways, since they are in such a hurry. And plus.. the more information you can provide the better it is.
We do not mind long posts until you keep us engaged in your Posts. Thanks a lot!
I really like long post actually it keeps you reading just as long as it's really interesting to read

Most users like short post i think, why?
I think the posts should be long enough to catch the idea of blogging
In other words: blogs ment to be long. Every blog author should write the way she/he like it. It's their expression that is here important so if they wan't to make it long – let them! But if You want to make it short… it's also ok 
It´s not the size that matter it´s the cycle of the posts. If there would be something it would be a index in front of the post and hyperlinks to sections. Not bad idea?
