Not specifically about this post or topic, but I kind of miss that blog posts don't have the Conclusions...call them summaries, if you will..at the start of a post.
I get it, all authors want all readers to read the whole of their masterpiece. Unfortunately, though, we live in a world where we are deluged with fluff and rubbish; we need concise, detailed, and conclusive summaries at the start in order to make a judgement as to whether reading the details is necessary or even valuable.
I don't think trying to hold out out of fear that the whole post won't be read is all that productive; possibly even counter-productive.
- AndreasFrom 13y agoI agree. One of the things I love about scientific papers is being able to read the abstract to determine if the whole paper is worth reading.
