I disagree, I thought it was an amazing blog post. The bottom-line is that you have to entertain online. No entertainment, no visitors. And people aren't entertained when they see a big wall o' text. If you were even slightly entertained, I'll bet you give his blog another chance next time. Really, I'm not sure what more he could have said, beyond setting the stage for a grander story.

The bottom-line is that you have to entertain online. No entertainment, no visitors. And people aren't entertained when they see a big wall o' text. I wouldn't even say that. Blogs are blogs. They are a certain medium with certain styles & certain breakable 'rules.' Evolution & survivor bias ensure that most blog posts read are the types of blog posts that are appealing to the the people reading them. I see no problem with that. Same goes for novels, biographies, essays, magazine articles or pretty much any category of writing. Nothing wrong with that. A blog within the framework of the style is definitely a useful one to have out there.
