Good reminders, thank you. I have a different problem to you - I never have enough time to blog about all the different things I'm interested in!
I think post length is more about what is it you want to say and does it need a short post or a longer one. I enjoy little snippets - here's a great little Tale of 2 Log MoversWhat is College Actually ForI Like to Read and Write Lomg Posts (and I Cannot Lie). from @pumpkinsandcats, but I also enjoy a long read like by @cstrimel. Craig also makes an eloquent argument for long posts in
On a more pragmatic point, how do I use Markdown to create a smaller font size? 😊
And as long as I am here, I agree with your statement about post length @gmuxx, in general, but I also think it is totally fine and up to the writer (and reader). I have learned there are plenty of people who appreciate longer posts, and they have been the ones I have earned the largest payouts for. Its great to understand what the average person wants today, and that is clearly the purpose of your good post, but always catering to the average is also a path to hell, sometimes :).
Of course, these are not hard and fast rules and as you said there are always exceptions. Some people have the impression that more words equals more value when unfortunately you may find you get upvoted as much for a shorter post as a long one. Just something to consider. Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure if you can do that in markdown.
