Have you ever wondered whether you should set your blog homepage to show full blog posts or post extracts/excerpts only with a link to read more? Or maybe a combination?
What do most blog readers prefer? I asked myself this question recently and some quick online research didn’t give me a definitive answer.
I asked around on Twitter, but got mixed responses. So I set up a survey (in the form of a quick poll question, with an optional field for comments) to try to get a better idea of what blog readers prefer.
The outcome may surprise some. And the comments help remind us that everyone has different habits and preferences and that includes the way people like to read blogs.
Recommendations are at the end of this post.
