There's certainly nothing wrong with spreading those across a series of posts though...

If a post is too long, however, I'll usually skim instead of reading every word. I like blog posts that have a some type of personal experience from the blogger in them.

At least that is what I want in a blog I hope to learn something from. Quality is more important than quantity. And quality doesn’t have to mean long either.

I can't cope with too much brain stimulation if everyone's writing killer content, so a blend that includes short updates, photos and a few lines, a quote or something that gets me thinking but doesn't take too long are often highly valued. I think it's also a creative way to work - how can you tell your story or make your point in 1000 words, 6 words, a podcast, a movie clip, 140 characters, a photo... All of that helps you work out your point, your message, your purpose and hopefully makes for a good experience for your readers too.

Many times I'll pull up a post on my RSS feed and begin reading and start thinking, Wow this is going to be Great! Then I find the post is simply a teaser, or just a brief overview of a subject ending with the question, Well what do YOU think? Extremely disappointing to say the least. Sometimes having shorter posts is good, but some topics really need to dig deep and give as much detail as possible, loaded with links to further drive home the point (or provide proof of what is being said).
