That has been a problem with my site, there isn't a blog, but there are blog-like articles that you can comment on. My inability to use any sort of package (like WordPress) leads me to develop everything by scratch and to the say the least, my blog is not very blog-like. I am rectifying this at the moment. Also, making a blog yourself makes you realise just how many features WP packs. My equivilent to a blog is on the URl of this comment. Thanks.

That "Pull me" text sizer is really a nice touch, though! Darren: That may be true enough, but all the SEO in the world isn't going to stop an eye weary reader from falling alseep while reading. A better way to set up your blog is to start with the bare basics. That way, when you get into the more complex stuff later on, you can link your early articles for reference.

Its just a better way to run your blog. I disagree with the last part and think that more text per post = more relevant post = better search engine ranking = a better quality article.

This sort of article length is about right. However, my only successful post so far was about 20 pages of A4 :P I generally agree. This sort of article length is about right.
