Bloggers VIAGRA - Length is NOT Important

Posted on 30 May 2007 by DeanHunt

Ernest Hemmingway is one of history’s greatest authors. One day he was asked what his best piece of work was… Hemmingway said that his best piece of work was a story with just six words: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

If one of the worlds most repected ever authors gives advice then you had better listen.

As a blogger or website owner you should take a leaf out of Hemmingway’s book. Keep it simple!

You may have heard the KISS theory (Keep It Simple Stupid).

As bloggers and content creators we often feel that we need to add extra words to make our content seem larger. I call this blogging Viagra: It makes your content seem stiff and too long

So on that note, I am going to end this blog post now.

So many beginning bloggers get so CAUGHT UP in writing a great novel with each blog post, that they end up not posting at all.

Great job of illustrating that brevity is the sole of wit!

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
