Hi Brian, you can always do something about number 1, and as for number 8, well that is only my personal opinion. It may well be that longer posts are often valid and if so, well you have one up on me on that score. Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it.

I'm a big violator of number one and eight. My front page is way too busy and I go on way too long with my posts. It's funny, at home I don't like to throw things away and I like to lecture the kids ;) Great post and discussion Sire. Every point is valid and makes us think. Brian D.

Hi John. Nice to see you again mate and being a visitor of your blog I know how you love expressing yourself, and although your posts can be quite lengthy they are very informative. I agree that sometimes, especially when trying to set up a list of ‘how tos’, you may need to go to some great length and that is fine, but if I can get away with a shorter post, I will go for it every time.

Good morning, Sire.

You make some good points here and I’m going to join the choir about proofing, typos, and the points you covered in #2.

Unlike many others, I tend to like longer posts on blogs – as long as it offers good information. Many subjects just can’t be dealt with in a few paragraphs. As long as I’m learning something or at least continue to be interested, I’ll keep reading.

Some of us just write more than others. The author, David Eddings, once said that it takes him 100 pages to “clear his throat” when writing one of his huge novels.

I’m not saying it’s a good thing. I’m sure many of us could shorten what we write if we were to set it aside and come back to edit with a fresh set of eyes a day or so later.

I also don’t use many images on my blog. I’m a left-brained person most of the time and I’m more interested in thoughts, opinions, and information than I am in graphics and pretty pictures. (Of course, at other times I love looking at pretty pictures, but I’d better stop talking about that.)

Even with exceptions, I think you did a good job pointing out things to do and things to avoid when blogging.

Act on your dream!
