Thanks for your input. I'll get going in that direction and see where it leads to. I like the long-term view of writing, which is likely to be useful to more people for a longer time - I think I've heard these referred to as 'pillar posts', but there the slant was more on winning readers organically through a sheer volume of wordcount in the post. I'll be more specific, but follow the proven formats you mention.
