NOTE: This is part 4 of a 7-part series that describes the main types of blog posting formats. See the index to this series for the complete list.
A list-format blog posting combines several short items into a single posting. This could be a collection of anecdotes, examples, categories, links or link blurbs, quotes, product recommendations, etc. It also might be a series of instructions for readers to follow.
List-format blog postings are preceded by a brief introduction, but they don’t necessarily require a conclusion.
Example: Most of my Grab Bag postings are compilations of link blurbs. Also, see this recent posting from Dina Mehta. My 10 Cool things to do with Furl piece was a list posting. And of course, there is this list posting on the Top Ten Reasons Why Hurrican Season is Like Christmas.
ADVANTAGES: Easy to Scan and Read, Allows Detail
