Acevedo Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:09:52 +0000 http://www.upyoursocial.com/?p=127#comment-144 I think in general UpYourSocial is like any other new blog struggling to find the right content. However, knowing how good of a job you do with Lost In Technology, I don't doubt that we will see that soon. As you already know, it is hard work running a blog and coming up with new content continuously. I do like when you post your Google Reader links, and I remember one of the first articles on Twitter was really good. Lastly, even this specific post I think is the right in word count and content, because of the topic that you chose to write about. There is simply no reason to get into a lengthy, boring discussions on certain topics. I think in general UpYourSocial is like any other new blog struggling to find the right content.

But the problem is that sometimes you need more words to develop a topic in detail, so if the post requires more words, we can split the post into different sections.That is what I sometimes do in my blog.

Acevedo Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:18:55 +0000 http://www.upyoursocial.com/?p=127#comment-140 I think it all depends on the type of blog that you are running. That being said I think 250 words should be the minimum and 500 words should be the maximum number simply because blogs can be a bit boring. Even great blogs that you may follow and have great content get boring after a certain amount of words. I also think that inserting relevant pictures helps tremendously as long as you don't over do it. On the other hand, I run two blogs and work full-time also, and it is very time consuming. From that perspective I guess it is our job as bloggers to make sure we post informational articles no matter how tired we are on a regular basis. By the way, regular basis does not necessarily mean every day, in my opinion. I think it all depends on the type of blog that you are running.

Anything much longer and you run the risk of scaring them off by the length of the article. I think 500 words is about the right length for our readers.
