At the moment all my tutorials are run on Wednesdays, with more general posts on Mondays and reviews on Fridays. Possibly I could change it so that it's mixed in with lighter content; definitely worth thinking about. A share and highlight day is an excellent idea - thank you. :) .-= Heather´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.shadesofadream.com/blog/2010/01/29/review-infernum-the-art-of-jason-engle/" rel="nofollow">Review: Infernum The Art of Jason Engle</a> =-.

I would like to know what more experience guys, maybe like Allyn Hane would suggest. I know he does DIY for home improvement. I expect that those posts are detailed like yours. Heather,

You can make every Wednesday Tip Day and provide a useful tip that you use and want to share with your readers. If you talk about Falling Feathers every single day, then people not interested in it won't be coming back - I would try interspersing the series with other topics that would garner more readers. Just an idea. Karen You can also start to engage your readers to see what kind of tips they they want or have to share and highlight a day for this. Hi Heather,

I do like writing posts this in depth, I'm just wondering if maybe it'd be easier to compile them in another format. The reasoning was that I don't want to completely overload RSS readers, or make it so long that people disconnect part way through. From what you said though, do you think that having a separate section of my website for the longer posts/tutorials would work better? Thanks again for taking the time to comment and let me know. :) Thanks for the suggestions Ralph, I’d totally overlooked that.

I think that you need to keep doing them because they are the piller content (I think that is the right term) of your blog. But I would organize it so that your posts are shorter things maybe talking about how your learned that technique or how you use it and referencing the full long block of information. I am sure that people with more experience can suggest how you organize the information but I think that a bunch of detailed instruction backing up a chatty, anecdotal blog with shorter and more personal posts would work. Interesting to see if you get other suggestions like this. Heather,
