10. Avoid writing really long posts.
One thing I personally don’t like doing is spend a lot of time reading one post - if you have that much to say about something, try breaking it into a few posts, or make it a series. Although people are attracted to good content, you may also lose your visitors’ attention by making them scroll down the screen a hundred times.
What can I say? I'm a rebel. On a word bender.

Well I agree. I just flat do not have the time to read long posts. But on that same token I think it's ok to blog without the intention of people reading it, couldn't it be like a diary, anyway? write what you want, if people read it all then they can comment, if not, well... at least it's off your chest.
Meh. It's my blog and I don't write it to garner readers (ok yes I sort of do, but I try not to).
You can write anything you want and I'll read it darl - it's an insight to another world (you know lots of people who ring bells in choirs!).
I think the rules are different when you number the sub sections of the entry. It makes it less scrolly.
"Scrolly." My new favorite adjective! And I try to keep my posts short. If I find myself trying to conquer more than one theme in a post, I split them up, and if I get bored while rereading before publishing a post, I'll shorten it or add headings or take a meat cleaver to it.
i am cracking up right now at your comment, :) :x
Surely they don't mean like race reports and stuff - right? I mean those are still allowed to be long?
Oh well...I guess I'm going to enternal blog damnation for longer blog posts.
I love your long posts! Keep 'em wordy and verbose, I say!
you know how I feel
yeah, i try to make shorter posts, but i'm a yappasaurus hex.
i do think you need more nudity.
