long or short?

I'm short.
My hair is long.
So I guess I don't just agree that we live in a world where both long and short can co-exist. I live it.
But every time I go to read a blog, and can't get past the 2nd or 3rd paragraph, I wonder. Is my attention span just severely compromised? Am I not interested in the content?
Or, more to the point: Why can't bloggers figure out how to get their point across faster, and go on and on and on after they've made it. So I can get what I came for, and those who want more info can hang in there for the nitty gritty.
I know the answer: these guys, and gals subscribe to the ole direct mail precepts. It's sales copy. It's written and designed to drive you further and further in.
But they lose me every time. I mean it. Every single time.
I don't really have time to read through these posts.
I blog, and read blogs because I want an instant hit of information, inspiration or sometimes just entertainment.
That's why I keep my posts short. In the hopes that I won't lose you.
May your day be filled with the Magic Medicine of quirky blogs that get to the point fast.

Just as a disclaimer: I'm not talking about story line blogs, where the authors are reflecting personally, and you might expect a longer post. And in fact are interested.
