Now for something a little different...
Alright. I just postulated this question to myself after I wrote an incredibly long post about 4 different subjects, and I'm going to ask you the same thing!
Should I, when I write posts, try to break subjects into their own posts? I usually have a lot of different things to blab pointlessly on and on about, and I'll drone on forever in a single really long post. Is this good or bad? I just considered two possible points:
- When I write a really long post of multiple topics, I am more than likely going to go on a spiel about something nobody cares about (maybe something boring like how I washed a spider down the shower drain because it was attacking me or maybe something fiery about how liberals flubbed up the process of logic again), but it's in a long post of multiple topics, and they might just stop reading entirely. While I'm not necessarily shooting to maximize my reader base (I'm sure my friends will read the entire post anyway), it is something to consider.
- Having so many topics in a single post makes it far harder to properly categorize and title. I was going to call the post I was just writing "A few things..." Yeah. That's really descriptive, isn't it. It was going to fall into the category of "General" instead of, say, "General" and "Movies". (I know Movies isn't a category at this time, but I think after this post it will be!)
Now for some counterpoints!
- Since I usually prefer to wait a while and build up a bunch of stuff to talk about, I'll have a stretch of idle activity before WHAMMO! You have 200 small posts showing up in your RSS feed or on this site, and you might have to actually flip pages to see everything. While that isn't actually bad, it could potentially be annoying. It wouldn't be to me, I don't think, but it might to others.
Okay, uhm... So that's just one counterpoint! Regardless, I want some feedback! Which would you personally prefer? Don't give me what you think would be best... Give me what YOU WANT. I want to see how many people prefer which one. That being said, I'm going to break my multi-topic post into smaller posts and see how it works, and give you a taste of what it'll look like!
