Longer or shorter blogs?

milosrasic98
milosrasic98 over 4 years ago

Hi! I've started work on a drone for the Attack of the drones Project14 a few days ago and there's already a lot of stuff I wish to cover through my blogs. But here comes my dilemma, do people on the site like reading more a single big blog for a project, or multiple smaller blogs with another blog that would link all of them up together (like there are 10 blogs in a design challenge), or maybe just a video with some details pulled out into the blog. For design challenges I look into splitting the blogs into something like mini projects or a specific topic, while for smaller projects, I tend to do just one bigger blog, I haven't tried doing a whole video about a project, but that sounds like a nice challenge. So to summarize, in what format do people like content about a project the most:

 

  • Multiple smaller blogs
  • One big blog
  • Video
  • Something else

 

Would love to get some insight into this!

    I prefer reading to watching one long video. A large blog is fine as long as it is well structured and tells ‘the story’ in a logical, coherent way. Often, it seems to me, that for lots of information…

    For Project14s that only require one blog, I prefer just one blog, it is easier to find it all in one place, especially for later reference.

    What's easiest for you. You are doing all the hard work, so pick what works best for you. Once you start thinking about what the readers would like best, you're dealing with a range of opinions that can…

    On the video point as Andrew and Michael mention, I also feel shorter is always better.

    There's one youtube creator, he discussed a measurement using a particular instrument. It took him two hours (over two videos) to do that!

    It was very over-the-top, the information could have been read in ten minutes.

    I thought these features helped me understand Jan's post, even though PSoC is still new to me, I've not used it:

    (a) Easy to follow the title, splitting the description using colon (:)

    (b) Photo for context

    (c) Framing some things as questions. I feel if you can ask a question in a simple to understand way then the chances are that you'll explain the answer in a simple to understand way too, which is important for complex or new tech where some explanations are too hard to follow.
