Well, with the problems being ironed out at Active Rain and the “pretty” features of my post currently disabled I find myself going…yikes what do I blog about if I cannot post a photo. I am a very visual person, carry my camera with me everywhere (well not to the bathroom and creepy stuff) and love to post photographs and house pictures.
I was reading someone else’s post (sorry I don’t remember who) that was talking about two kinds of bloggers: 1.) content bloggers and 2.) Folks like me. The content bloggers have a lot to say about everything and do a good job of writing material other content bloggers like to read. And then there are folks like me, type A, ADHD, hyperactive who cannot concentrate on those longs posts. We like to see a photo and a couple of paragraphs, or better yet just give us the bullets, we don’t need the fluff. An outline of your top three points works well with me. Give me the short and sweet and to the point, cut the crap, bottom line no frills posts.
Sometimes, I look at those long featured posts and think “I’ll never get one of those” because I am never going to have that much to say to fill more than a paragraph. So, my question is, if content is king but your reader is a hyper freak like me, can you write a post that conveys your message but does not alienate either the type 1 or type 2 blogger? And are you Type 1 or Type 2?
