Hi Lillie, Never thought about comment length, but now that you mention it ... comments add so much to a post. Thoughtful comments are always a plus, long or short! Brad Shorrs last blog post..Use the Economic Slump to Retool for Success

Brad,
I thought of this post today on my blog book tour stop over at Writer’s Notes. I was answering questions in comments, and several of my comments are longer than many posts. I wondered if you were worried about the length of comments as well as posts.

Karen, The time factor is always a concern. That's why it's a good idea to break a long post into a series. Brad Shorrs last blog post..Do You Want to Win $500?

Hmm, Brad, I've never given post length much thought-- I basically write what I have to say and then I'm done. The problem with longer posts is that everyone is short on time--it has to be really special to keep a reader's attention. If I see a post that seems to be filled with paragraphs that really don't need to be there, I often find myself clicking away because there's only so much time in the day.

Brad, thinking back it was Chris Garrett's presentation to SobCon I was thinking of, but I'm sure he was referring to things he's written about on his site. Joanna Youngs last blog post..5 Thought Provoking Posts on Responsibility

Hi Cath, I've been so busy, I didn't even notice I was back. You do a great job of mixing up your posts, which is one reason I enjoy your blog. There's always a surprise or two. Brad Shorrs last blog post..Do You Want to Win $500?

Hi Brad – I didn’t realise you were back. Thanks for the link. I prefer writing a mixture. And like the others have said, just however long it takes to cover the topic.

I just wrote a really short post. I was going to make it a longer one but I thought, bugger it. All I wanted to do was point folk in the direction of an interesting site I’d found, so I kept it to a few lines.

Hi Brad, Welcome back. My philosophy - write however much you need to give adequate and complete coverage to your topic, go back and rewrite as concisely as possible, and then stop. Andrews last blog post..Employee rights and responsibilities part 2 - Fundamental responsibilities of employees
