Time and time again I look at this screen and think about what to write next. Where to get my inspiration and how to make an interesting blogpost. Today I had no inspiration at all so I decided to look through some of my old blogposts and the comments I got there.
One in particular did manage to inspire me. The comment came from Stephen over at ratracetrap stating that he liked my short blogpost style. Now you might have noticed that lately I’ve been writing longer and longer blogposts so it seems I didn’t listen to Stephen.
Short blogposts do have their advantages, there are whole blogs dedicated to the tao of short posts. They usually post several times a day and have multiple bloggers working on the same blog. This blog of course has only one blogger so multiple posts a day would seem a bit steep.
Now what is this tao of the short blogpost. Again, it’s quite simple after someone tells you:
- Short posts make for quick reading
- Short posts pack a punch (a quick one of course)
- Short posts get to the point quickly
The overall theme here is being fast and being witty.
That’s the tao of the short blogpost in a short post: Make a statement, do it fast and get away with it!
Thank you for the two minutes of your time.
Short and sweet!
