I agree with you. I should have thought about this more before I posted. Ahhh… the benefit of hindsight.

In my experience, I have found that readers prefer shorter more frequent posts with maybe one or two longer more in-depth posts once or twice a month.

A while back I started posting longer posts, in excess of 1500 words, on one of my blogs and noticed almost immediately that my readers and subscribers for that blog started to decline. As it turns out, the majority of people online like to browse, they never stay in one spot for to long, which means that they often like short, snappy posts that they can read quickly before moving on to their next destination.

There are of course exceptions to this I am sure, but generally speaking, I would say keep them short and sweet!

Both choices are irrelevant. Quality content is the most important. It has been proven.

I would possibly add a third choice in the poll – content.

I think content is the most important aspect of the posts, content and some sort of regularity.

it’s not the size of the blog post that matters, it’s what you do with it that counts … does that sound right?

long or short is irrespective of what the blog is about. I don’t want read a short – or long – blog about bs that isn’t worth reading. let the blog do the talking.
