(consider this a footnote: This correlation is purely anecdotal on my part I haven't mustered the energy to plot a graph on the matter.) Keeping the post length tighter is something I'm striving for too as the CW on blogging seems to say that's best. But from my own experience I tend to read even the long posts of people (such as yourself) that I respect and like to read. Sometimes I just skip reading if the post looks to long, but when I have some extra time on my hands I may read 3 or 4 posts at a time. I think post length truly matters when thinking about "fringe" readers who haven't made up their mind if they really want to invest the time to read the blog. Regulars and good friends will probably read it no matter what. That being said I think I tend to comment more (not just here, but on blogs in general) when the post length is shorter. Perhaps because of time constraints or perhaps because comment-worthy issues are easier to get a handle on. Ok - that's it - thanks for blogging Stanford! Keep it up!

As for length of posts, I don't think you should worry about it as long as the writing is quality, and so far you meet that standard.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401310219858196387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395090220691101609.post-72692709530544118142009-07-18T07:01:29.068-07:002009-07-18T07:01:29.068-07:00I find that the longer a blog post is, the more li...I find that the longer a blog post is, the more likely I will bookmark it for later. Unfortunately, many of these bookmarks get put off until they seem too dated and never get read. This may be laziness on my part, but I'd vote for slightly more succinct posts. I do hope you'll continue to blog.David Swansonhttp://davidswanson.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
