Long vs. Short Posts

I came across a debate as to whether long or short posts are better in a blog. So I decided to ask my readers. They overwhelmingly prefer a mix of short and long posts. (So do I.) Several folks noted that it depends on the content; some things work better short, others long.
I wonder if this applies to cyberfunded creativity. Many projects seem to have a fairly consistent "chapter size." With my poetry, one thing that happened last year is that we started doing microfunded epics, so that more of the very long poems got published. People seem to enjoy the expanded diversity of size
If you are doing a crowdfunded project, you might take a look at your posts to see if they are all near the same size, or if there are some longer and some shorter ones. Maybe ask your audience their preferences.
