For class today we were asked to read over some articles talking about how exactly to write an interesting blog post. Most of the tips offered in these articles were fairly self-explanatory and thankfully I've heard most of them as a part of our training for website writing on ucentralmedia.com.
One of the biggest tips that stood with me went against what most people have told me about online writing however. In this Writer's Digest piece there is a tip about not being afraid to write longer posts if you feel you need to.
It seems like almost everywhere, writer is told that an online reader does not want to read a long post and that it is a waste of time and effort. I however feel strongly that if you have something to say and your outlet is here on the world wide web, you should not be afraid to express your thoughts, even if they don't fit into the 140 character limit attention-span of today's web-browsing public.
Writing longer post can be way more effective anyway.
