Brian D. Hawkins : Bloggers Talk Too Much

Posted by Brian Hawkins in November 23rd, 2008

I should re-phrase that, “I Talk Too Much“. Have you ever proof read your blog posts or articles just to find that they are so long you could hardly stay awake? Ok, perhaps I’m not that bad but I do have a tenancy to get very long winded. To the point, at times, when I’m sure most will lose interest before getting the message. That’s the risk we take when we turn a simple blog post into a short story. Everyone is in a hurry and we don’t want our readers to start clicking away due to information overload.

I’m as guilty as this as anyone. In fact, just between you and me, I started writing a post yesterday for the Extreme Ezine and it went so long I decided to break it up into an ecourse. It should be ready by next weekend.

I’m taking my friend Sire’s post Blogging! It’s All About Presentation to heart. Number eight’s ‘Keep It Short‘ is something I’m striving for. I think I did ok with this post. Short and Sweet is my new motto.

Great. I’ve learned something new from you. I’ve been using Gmail for a couple of years I think but it is only now I’ve noticed the used of filters. Thanks for the link love. Will surely share it to my followers

Hi Dennis, No problem. Just getting in a little Camtasia practice.

Sheryl Loch Said in February 11th, 2009 @7:45 pm

Hey Brian,
I am not sure how people get by without setting filters & folders. I do have everything that gets a label also goes in a folder & skips the “IN” box. That way it only takes me 2 seconds if I am looking to see if mail from a certain project has come in. I would be in a real mess with just plain ol’ email.

I see you are going all Camtasia High Tech! That’s great – now when I try it I will know who to ask for help!

Hi Sheryl, I love Gmail. I hope it sticks around for a long time without ‘improvement’. Remember ‘New Coke’ LOL

I use an old version of Camtasia but it was free. Let me know if you need a copy. I want to learn more like zooming in and editing the video before I use it. Adding captions would be great. I need a teenager to show my these things

Hi Beok, Glad you liked it. I may do another one soon.

Hey Brian, if by chance you have free time and you still have that old free Camtasia app, I would definitely want a copy, if you don’t mind of course. You know my email address.

I have begun being interested in making video posts. I guess, I’m beginning to enter the phase where writing pure text posts is becoming less exciting and besides I plan to spruce up my blog content a bit with videos every now and then.
