The Perfect Blog Length

I've always wondered what the "perfect length" is for a blog post.

I thought about leaving this post at that and posting it in an (feeble) attempt to be funny. Then, I thought that would not work because it's more of a tweet or a Tumblr post at most, not really a blog post. That still does not answer how long it should be, just that it can't be that short.

I know that the perfect length is not too long like a few of my posts where I ramble on and on. I mean, if I as the writer feel that it is too long when I read it back, then it is most definitely too long.

Should it be word length? 500 words? 800 words? What if all of the words are really short so then it looks like it is a short post when really it is 1000 words long? Which leads me to the formatting...is that the deciding factor on making ti the perfect length? Is it two pages scrolls? Three? None at all? And if it depends on the scroll then shouldn't a set up the dimensions of my blog to be wider or thinner to fit to that standard?

Can't
         I
           just
                 type
                        like
                             this
                                  to
                                     fill
                                         up
                                             the
                                                  space
                                                           of
                                                               each
                                                                       post?

Ok, probably not that last option (although it does look pretty cool).

There probably is not a perfect length or a blog post. I thought that the post I wrote yesterday was too short and I thought the one I wrote before that was just a little bit too long. Maybe it's the school environment requirements of 'Write at least 5 pages' or 'Express your opinion in 3-4 paragraphs' that makes me think that there should be some sort of rule set up for a blog post. But, this is the internet and not an assignment for a class. It's likely no one will ever look at this and I certainly will not be receiving a grade for it...so why worry about the length?

There is no length that is too long or too short or too crazy looking. There are only my thoughts/topics I feel like blogging about/things I pull out of thin air because I am trying to complete BEDA.

They are all still blog posts.
