I've noticed, while browsing here, that an awful lot of bloggers make very short entries, in which all they do it ask a question with the aim of getting in a load of replies.

Why? If you haven't got anything to say yourself, and all you're doing is posing a question, don't you think the message boards are a better place? ?:|

I feel that is a rude questions and you should think twice before makeing such a stupid comment. As you can see if you READ it all the way some people have never done this before and are doing it for the first time. I think all blogs are important to get the best answer to alot of questions. And look who is talking your blog is SHORT...... And you ask one questions in hopes to get a reply.....

Actually, it's not at all. It's a very pertinent point about writing blogs. There is nothing in the rules about the length of a blog entry, however I feel lots of times people view the blogs as discussion boards, and really, its a rather ineffective place to hold a discussion, You are guaranteed your discussion will be over in 50 replies. If you have a short topic that you don't really want to expound upon, but just want to discuss, that's what the discussion boards are for. That's the difference between the two. Blogs are mainly for events, descriptions and opinions. The boards are for discussions.

I was going to say this entry is basically blog feedback, but its not. It's really more of an entry on how and why to write a blog, so I'll let it be. I think it's a good topic to bring up.

It may also have been a failed attempt at irony, but never mind. ;)

I was trying to raise a valid point. I did have more to say on the subject, but I think Moose has already covered it all. :)

This is a perfectly valid point. Short, one question entries are more suitable to the message boards. We tend to think of blog entries as a little more involved.

Which brings me to a thought, is it possible for us to have a Hyperspace Chat Room? Or is there one already? If not, can we get one?! Hmmm. We must ask the elders!!
