Do you as a professional blogger prefer to keep your posts short and concise or is your blog post detailed, and in-depth?

Is there an acceptable norm with regards to how long a blog post should be, or does it depend on the amount of research that you've done on the topic?

And would you normally break down a blog post into many smaller sizable chunk, or do you keep it as one lengthy post?

I know that on average the human mind, can only stay focused on one subject/item for a very, very short period of time, so therefore I aim to keep my posts simple and concise.

But, what does everyone else think about this? I would like to have your thoughts around this please....

I try to hit 1000-1500 words per post, nothing less. and no more than 2000.

Great bloggers say around 1500 words, and blog 3 or 4 times a month. I write 500 to 800 words and blog more often, 3 or 4 times a week. and it works for me.

Wow, that's great, thank you for the feedback! I'm currently sitting at writing an article a week, but if I work harder, I know I can write more engaging content. I think it really boils down to the depth of your content as well. You could either write a really engaging article with only a few words, or you could ramble on with senseless information.
