But I do think that it's always helpful for both the blogger/writer and the reader if the title is VERY clear on what the article is about and if the first paragraph contains enough information to tell if what you're reading is going to be worth your while. One of my professors, when speaking about presentations or writing online, summed up what format an informational blog should look like: paragraph 1- tell them what you're going to tell them. main body: tell them last paragraph: tell them what you just told them. et voila.

They want to know if the article is worth them reading without having to read the whole thing, because of shortening attention spans as well as sense of instant gratification. The average reader who does not find information within the first paragraph of the article and even the title to contain any information they actually care about, they will loose interest and navigate away. So by summarizing the article within the first sentence they may and will find something that interests them, and continue reading a longer post. Though this only really works if you are blogging about something relevant and semi news worth, not very pratcial for a personal blog.

Those of us that "never read directions" are all in the group of wanting things faster, including the point. So my impatience would definitely support this theory. :) There is so much content to read in general, it seems like you would be missing out on so many other things.

Then your blog readers are there to elaborate and even argue over any given topic. That is exactly how this blog works, and we all have been given the tools to create our own blogs learning from this example. I have yet to develop a following, but it all starts with creating your own blog which is the first step many of us have taken thanks to these contests. -Storm When it comes down to it, a point only needs to be made.

But when you go to a blog, it's because it's related to what you're looking for or you know the author/owner, or were linked to it, something like that.
