I've posted two posts today. I thought I'd better tell you because, according to the results of yesterday's survey, 60% of you won't have spotted the second post yet...
I blog too long: Last week, using the 'dg screenful' as a measure (because we all know how big that is now), I posted a total of 9 screenfuls of posts. Hmm, that sounds like quite a lot. How did the other blogs in my survey compare?
a) 20 blogs from my blogroll: Let's get the exception out of the way first. It's Londonist again, which last week churned out an astonishing 48 screenfuls of bloggery (hmmm, maybe this explains why it's become a blog I skim rather than read). The remaining blogs on my blogroll averaged a rather more manageable 5 screenfuls each. And only four other bloggers wrote more screenfuls than me: namely D4D with 10, the ever-prolific onionbagblogger with 11 (all the more impressive given his small font size), a photo-packed 15 from Annie and an especially fertile 15 from mike. b) The 10 most recent blogs to link to me: Exactly the same average as above - 5 screenfuls per week - with Geoff and Jakartass exceeding twice that total. c) The 10 biggest blogs in the world: Aaaagh - overblog overload! Take out thetwo atypical blogs and the remaining eight averaged a scary 50 screenfuls each. The most verbose of these managed an incredible 90 screenfuls of content last week (on average that's one more screen of anti-conservative polemic published every two hours). I know that geeks and the politically aware have an insatiable appetite for abundant blog content, but I can only assume they also have far too much spare reading time on their hands. d) 10 utterly random Blogger blogs: An average of 4 screenfuls a week here, which again is probably higher than you were expecting from a selection of unassuming personal blogs. And hats off to Drew in Cumbria for a most impressive 16 screens of wholesome family loveliness.
Conclusion: Yes, I do blog more screenfuls than most, taking into account both frequency and length of post. I'm sort of upper quartile, I think, but I'm by no means an extreme case. How about you?
