I did read this whole post since it caught my attention, and that's all that matters IMO =) It’s true, most people do skim articles and basically everything else (it’s not just 2 year old’s that have short attention spans!) – I’m guilty of it myself… I did read this whole post since it caught my attention, and that’s all that matters IMO =)

And thank you for the lovely words for me. You always make me feel so good too. Oh dear I really must go visit Jodi. I use to visit her almost everyday. I love her work. Oh yes can you please help me and pass along a message? I tried and tried today to leave a comment for Colin. but, for some reason it keeps saying that my sign in is invalid. Yet when I go to get an OpenID it says I already have one. I am so confused. Maybe Colin could write an article for us OpenID dummies. Thanks in advance. I found several of his articles very interesting and wanted to leave a comment. Happy weekend:-) Hi Bobby,

I'm a little old school with blogging in that I reply to every approved comment. I like conversation and am fortunate enough to have many here and on other sites. With an entertainment site (about stars etc), I prefer to read one only if it has lots of personal opinion. If something has been on the news already, everyone knows about it, but insightful and fun opinion can really make it much more interesting a seem fresh. I hope you're feeling better. Thanks...you can rant here anytime and say <em>anything</em> you want! :smile: Hi Nina! I’m a little old school with blogging in that I reply to every approved comment.

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:16:59 +0000 http://revellian.com/?p=2184#comment-17050 I enjoyed that rant and you are totally right! I read some people post and i'm like eww did u even think about writing before you wrote? I've been away from blogging because i've been ill and it's drove me crazy.Cuz i wanted to write but couldn't. I mean I write entertainment and sometimes it's just a blurb but if it's too short then I feel like it's not interesting so I won't write on it. I just wrote an article on people beating up on jessica simpson because of her weight(even though she looks fab!) and it was loaded with all my opinions! That keeps it from being dry and boring. no one wants to read that crap. And when people comment on my blog i usually go and leave them some sort of comment on the content as well as a thank you. I find the people that take time to comment me have a great content themselves. I don't get a whole lot of comments but I have plenty of readers. new and constantly coming back. and hey I just started blogging in novemeber and my comments have really picked up in that time, so has my readership. I'm grateful for that. I think if you keep publishing sturdy content and intereact in the blogging community you can do amazing things. I've met some wonderful people (such as you) and built partnerships that have really helped me alot. saying that if people aren't going to be passionate about blogging get off it it's not for you! Wew! ok that's my rant for today! lol I enjoyed that rant and you are totally right! I read some people post and i’m like eww did u even think about writing before you wrote?

Yeah, I've written about it before also and probably will again. Since my blog is really not niche oriented and a <em>mixed bag</em>, I don't have a particular audience. I sometimes can't believe I have regular readers as I'm so liberal with different subjects and unrelated content. Having said that, I love all my readers (like you) and am truly thankful. I actually savor informative articles like Wikipedia. I have read my entire set of home encyclopedias as if they were poetry LOL! :smile: Hi Melissa!

It's unfortunate, but many online readers scan. However, having said that, I think that the most important consideration is one's audience, and after that - what type of content do you produce? Some audiences love long, in-depth posts. Some content is purely informative, and not meant to be read and savored (i.e. Wikipedia entries), and I would say these should be written in a way that lends itself to scanning.
