Crudely, this means breaking up component parts of a subject so that they're more easily assimilable. While am happy with long, recognise most prefer shorter posts. My suggestion would be - if you're treating a discrete theme - to divide into two parts: first your personal story, then the advice/conclusions in the following post.Minniehttp://minniebeaniste.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-10928216505626817172009-11-20T09:29:15.430+00:002009-11-20T09:29:15.430+00:00Hi Mandy..

Shorter chunks would mean I could read more regularly rather than saving them up for a later date when time is kinder to me.

On the other hand, I'm pretty long winded sometimes so it would be strange for me to not vote for long. Probably I'll enjoy reading your blog either way. That said, I have found on other blogs if the post is real detailed or "deep" I have trouble digesting it all at once.<br /><br />How's that for a wishy-washy-sit on the fence answer?Merry MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462036349233154101noreply@blogger.com
