Why Multi-Paged Blogposts Should Be Avoided
So I was reading this really interesting article a few days ago, well not so much as reading but looking at pictures at laughing because it was a 100 image list post.
It was a post containing around 100 images which were funny and I wanted to look at them all since the first 5-6 made me laugh.
Here's why I simply clicked the red 'x' and closed the tab, the post was multi-paged and each time I wanted to look at the next picture I had to reload the entire website and wait so long.
Even though it's only a couple of seconds waiting time, that's still a long time waiting since there's 100 images! Don't get me wrong, the content of that website was brilliant and I would have loved to see all the images but that was just annoying.
He should have put the images under one another so I could load everything at once and see them all.
The title of this article isn't exactly accurate since not all multi-paged blogposts fail, when you have loads of text it's good to put them on multi-pages so it splits the information up, therefore making it easier to read and understand however it's only good if it's a couple of pages, 3 at max.
Anything much higher than that gets annoying, try it yourself.
What I'm saying is, multi-paged blogposts aren't bad but try and avoid them if possible and maybe keep some of your readers while avoiding it.
Cool right?
