Thinking about what makes The Blogometer worth reading. I’ve noted that I’m big on small posts, but I write long posts. I’m going to work on making my Blogometer posts shorter, punchier.

I’m going to keep up my shtick of adding a portrait to most of the posts, but that the portraits are one heck of a time consuming chore. Maybe a Flickr Pro account will help, or maybe I need to write a script that will size images, and upload them for me.

This means more volume. Less fuss over each post. I’ll bet my writing will improve if write more, if I throw more pots. It is an attempt to be more conversational.

And I’m saying that even length can have meaning. Storytelling, to get to a point, is highly underrated these days. A nice readership is attracted by the intimacy of such storytelling, too.

It’s funny that you say this - my online diary has much shorter posts than VatulBlog and contain as much meaning.

Quality != f(quantity)

My actions are tempered by this bit of blogging wisdom. My longer posts have tradiontionally been the one that get the most response, but I’d like to see more outbound linking and conversation in my blogging. Must practice what I preach.
