WordPress’ false advertising for those of us who can’t shut up

January 29, 2010 | 10:58 am

As you may have noticed, my posts are always rather lengthy. And i’m constantly being told to keep it short, that there’s more chance of readership with short and punchy posts. And that’s probably true.

But here’s the thing: it’s WordPress’ fault :) Seriously, as I type this new post, I’m working in a text box that is really wide, and so far, i’m only on my 2nd line of text. But when i’ll publish it, the column is much narrower and even this short post will be much longer than i think it is. So it’s false advertising. :D

OK, FINE, it’s not actually wordpress’ fault. It’s my screen’s fault for being so wide, it’s my template’s fault for being so narrow… yeah, yeah… it’s maybe it’s my fault too for being so chatty. Just felt like ranting.

But brings up an interesting question: are long posts really a bad thing? Do they turn you off? Or would you lap it up if the topic interested you? Give me your thoughts!

About my state of mind

October 30, 2009 | 10:25 pm

Well, it’s been four months since my last post (to the day, how crazy is that?). And for a change, i’m not gonna apologize. Believe it or not, I haven’t visited my blog in a couple months, and so, the good news is, when i decided to visit it today, i remembered how much i loved it. Narcissistic? Maybe, but hey, if i’m not gonna show my blog some lovin’, why should i expect anyone else to?

I love my blog because it’s 100% reflective of me, it has just the right amount of info, and i find it visually very pleasing. So there! :p

In the meantime, i just went to a fabulous restaurant this evening, so i’ll prepare my review, and hopefully post it in the next couple days.
