Wren commented on Creating readable contentIts like you are talking about my blog posts. :) I'll get it, eventually. I agree, and blog posts should be more like newspaper articles. Ever read a newspaper? One sentence paragraphs are the norm. Three sentence paragraphs are about the max. http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment5http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment5Tue, 09 Oct 2007 20:23:45 GMTMarkus Zywitza commented on Creating readable contentAnother problem with blog posts are browser display problems. In this blog for example, images like above or source code bites with the sidebar on IE6 (hiding flow text under the sidebar) and thats why I some times need to span the window over two monitors. Thats awful to read... PS: No rant against the blog. I guess it's rather IE6 that's causing the problem... http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment4http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment4Tue, 09 Oct 2007 08:14:11 GMTKen Egozi commented on Creating readable contentI'd say that the difference is between literature and scientific articles. The type of the media is less of an issue than it's content http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment3http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment3Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:54:16 GMTAyende Rahien commented on Creating readable contentThere is a major difference between books and reading online, though. http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment2http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment2Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:51:10 GMTKen Egozi commented on Creating readable contentHave you ever read a book by Jose Saramgu ? He can span paragraphs across pages. And he's genuinely brilliant. I couldn't put down 'The Gospel According to Jesus Christ' and 'Blindness' So, at the end of the day, it's down to one's writing ability, not only the visuals. For me, as I definitely lack any writing skills, I'd stick with short paragraphs from now on. Maybe it'd help .. http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment1http://ayende.com/2850/creating-readable-content#comment1Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:48:26 GMT
