So much so that I have adopted that mantra, so I still read Jacob's investigative pieces, but impliment little bits at a time to allow me to test changes. <a href="http://www.websitePROFITS.com.au" title="Fiona Fell: websitePROFITS: Profit Boosting Tips in 37 words or less!" rel="nofollow"> websitePROFITS: Profit Boosting Tips in 37 words or less!</a> I am a big fan of the logic and testing mentality behind Jacob Neilson’s work.

Write a blog post for things that will not matter next month. I'm working on a long series that is intended to become an e-book ... but it is non-fiction rooted in history ... only the final chapter or two will be current material. The first few chapters will be released as articles; the rest in e-book form. But, if I were writing about the most recent antics of Detroit politics, I'd keep it down to a blog post of just a few hundred words -- chopping an 'article' up if I needed to in order to keep the length down. Current events are inherently time-sensitive. I've read and generally admired Jakob Nielson since the early days of the web. But he cannot be the authority on everything at once.

In part because I love it when someone plays with content or form and partly because I actually played with idea of writing my post about what you can learn about blogging from reading fairytales based on The Three Little Pigs just like that. Instead I chose to summarize the original and then write about what you could learn from it and how you could interpret it. Not as much fun to read as this one I am sure, but perhaps (even) more enlightening? You find my story (published 6 days previously to this one) by clicking my name. Should you be so inclined. I would absolutely love to hear what you think about it, how you value the differences and which you think will teach you the most...

Yes, writing strong articles and good cornerstone copy is a great idea, but shorter "postings" can be just as useful sometimes. A good blog (or any content website) needs strong articles, but depending on the content and subject matter, a shorter post can be much more effective. Like your <a href="http://www.copyblogger.com/edit-your-writing/" rel="nofollow">last post</a> for example. I still don’t really agree with the Jakob Nielsen article.
