Shorter is Better
(Copyblogger)
If you want people to read something, make it short and concise. By all means, and let us continue our slide down that slippery slope into illiteracy while we're at it. Yeah, shorter is better is good advice for a blog, but the larger picture is that it's becoming painfully obvious that Johnny--and Jackie, and even Lakeshia--can't read, won't read, and doesn't want to read, unless there are a lot of pictures next to the words. Basically, Johnny doesn't want to think. This will have dire impacts on our future. Time will tell. But at least I read.
