Less is More

Bren mentioned that he didn’t read my posts when I used the read more links.
I asked why not, and considered focusing on the post intro to make people think, “Actually, yes I do want to read more!”
I was going to conduct a poll asking what other people thought of the use of read more links, but then realised 50% of the vote was already in.
I didn’t think my wife really read the comments, but she told me last night she agreed with Bren – she never reads more.
This shocking revelation has led to the immediate canning of the read more feature.
That’s them!
It always sounds such a convenient line to use, the ‘silent majority’.
20,000 people to the streets? Ha, but what about the silent majority who support this course of action? What do you mean, you haven’t heard from them? They’re SILENT, you fools!
Ah, yes, the silent masses. The fifty million people who haven’t been reading your blog because of the frigging ‘read more’ button.
Allister – I sympathise with your sarcasm, but cater to the masses… the ‘silent majority’, if you will.
Hey i want to vote!
I vote for…… no read more feature!
I do click read more but its such an effort.. You know, dragging the mouse over, pushing down that button, hearing that annoying ‘click’ sound for the billionth time, and scrolling down to read the rest.
Its too much!! TOO MUCH!!
