Doug,

A couple of thoughts….

I worry less and less about my page’s look since I’ll bet most of my readers look at it through an aggregator, that said, I try to add things I think will be most useful to those who directly visit, for example my shared reading items and certainly an about page.

While I’ve never been one to write as eloquently as you and say Konrad Glogwonski, I appreciate that a few of my feeds will tackle ideas in more depth. You would be one of those. And while like Jude, I subscribe to a lot of feeds, I like the odd post that I actually have to slow down. Maybe living in Alaska does that to you.

[...] Inspired by Doug Noon, I’ve created an “About” page for my blog. I’ve included links in a couple of places on my blog sidebar previously to information “about me,” but I hadn’t previously tried to summarize in 150 words or less (my own self-imposed word limit) the focus and purpose of this blog space.

Long posts bug me, too. Mine especially. And I wish I had less to say sometimes. I apologize in advance, because I know my faults and I won’t soon master them all. My wife calls it dribbling around close to the goal. It’s a soccer analogy. When you’re close enough, just shoot, she says. Smart lady. I wish I was as direct as she is.

I appreciate this post and your blog. I have much sillier, less focused reasons for blogging, and do a lot less analysis about content because I started blogging so that I could teach teachers about it. I therefore feel free to write about anything, although my general focus is my little part of Colorado.

I’m glad that you worry about length. Today, I unsubscribed from a blog which always has long posts. I realized that I never felt like reading them and instead checked “keep new” in bloglines. I subscribe to over 300 feeds. I don’t have time to read long posts, unless of course they’re actually *interesting* like this one. I’m off to rewrite my “about” page, and possibly even add a name somewhere to my blog.
