It's not uncommon that a blog consists of a very long paragraph. I usually suggest the blogger to paragraph the long paragraph whenever I come across one. Here's some tips:

A blog with short paragraphs is more readable than a blog with a long one

A long paragraph isn't so reader-friendly, which means it's hard to read. It can be so tiring to read such a long paragraph. Your readers deserve your consideration - they need the space and the pause. Make it a pleasant experience to read your blog. 

The length of a paragraph can vary

It doesn't need to be the same length - a blog with same length paragraphs can be so boring. Just try to avoid writing a paragraph which is too long or too short. The problem is learners aren't always so sure where they should stop to start a new paragraph. 

So, it's not a good idea to write a very long paragraph. Don't get me wrong - I'm talking about long paragraphs, not long blogs. But, incidentally, a very short blog isn't a good idea, either. 

Note:

The word 'paragraph' can be used as a verb or a noun.

    Yes, reading a long paragraph can be so tiring or time-consuming. Thanks.

  • Most of the time, you feel lazy reading long blogs even you're a reader. I think it should be short but detailed. Nice tips Sir.

    You're welcome!

  • Dear Expector, thanks for your great tips.
  • Sometimes I stopped reading a blog just because it has no paragraph. It was one long continuous sentences and I can't make a head or tail of the material. I hope members here read this and take heed on your advice.

  • Expector,,

    I realize now,, in my busy time, I can still read your blog and put a comment. It's because your blog are easy to understood, well written, simple but often so informative. It's good to be read by learners. Very helpful. I always enjoy your blog without thinking so hard. You organize your blog very well. And your explanation about this is well written too. 

    Thank you for sharing and for your time, doctor. :)

    Thanks for the appreciation. Sometimes it's the detail that makes a blog readable or unreadable. Learners should pay attention to such detail.
