I tend to write more ‘asides’ (they’re the pink ones on here) than ‘articles’. I like concise writing but it takes more thought. I know people who write long-winded paragraphs and essays in email, blogs, 9rules notes, and comments. Do your readers (message receivers) a favor: the more to the point, the better responses you’ll get. I’m personally starting with this policy: five.sentenc.es. Can’t you be more brief?

Yeah, you’re right. Depending on the readers (unless you’ve got some strange stalkers), most readers will not read really long blog posts unless the title interests them.
However, even if you have one of the most boring titles ever, if the article is only a paragraph long, most readers would just read it.
