Re: Editing times?
What's normal? Write what works for you. Experiment around. If a subject requires an essay, write an essay. If it's just pointage to somebody else's short post or long essay, make a short pointy post. Most posts for me take about as long as an email. In fact, I try to think of posts as a cc:world. If there are a lot of links, that makes them take longer. Also, I often edit once a post goes up. This annoys some people, but I'd rather be right than sorry. And I make a lot of typos, grammatical and linking errors, so post-posted corrections are common for me. Yet, I write long emails sometimes. Your issue is time, not length. Same with most of us who aren't paid to blog. As for long, there's nothing wrong with it. Check out Britt Blaser. Or Jeff Jarvis. Or Jay Rosen. I've often found that my longest posts get the most reading and inbound linkage. I like your post, by the way, and will point to it from over at IT Garage, where your subject is exactly the kind of issue we like to talk about.
