« For the boys (and some girls too I guess) | Main | Truncated posts, or not? »

The people have spoken!

When I found out that my blogging technique may be flawed and my tendency to truncate any post longer than six words didn't endear me to my readers, I sought guidance from the gurus of blogging.  With their guidance I have decided to stop truncating everything.  Rather than not truncating posts at all (I can be a bit long winded and go on for a while), I will only truncate really long posts.  All other posts will be presented in their full glory.  I hope this solution works for you and I apologise in advance for any frustration which you may experience when I do truncate from time to time.



As an aside, if you do subscribe to my feed, you will receive the full posts.



Big thanks to Roy, Rich, Martin, Michael and Darren.  Thanks guys!  I appreciate your suggestions and input.

Mate, that is without doubt the most times I have ever seen the word 'truncate' (and it's many different forms) used in one sentence.

Nice!

The elephant with the long trunk ate my blog comment!

(That's just to satisfy D'ave. Hmmm... I think I'll try truncating D'ave... here's the result... Dave. Ouch.)

An aside... thanks for calling me a blogging guru, Paul. Made my morning. Well, not the WHOLE morning. Just a bit of it. A truncated part.

Happy day.

Hey M'ate...
Nice to see you commenting on trunc'ate!
As you can see, I rise to the b'ait.
In fact, I heap it on my pl'ate
at a hefty r'ate.
But I fear that I'll s'ate
your appet'ate
and I'd h'ate
to do th'at!
Oh darn and screw.
I bit off more than I could chew.
