NOTE: This the final segment 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 series of blog postings is an excellent way to approach almost any topic that can be divided into fairly meaty sub-topics of about 500-1000 words each. A series is a collection of separate blog postings that are organized and linked together to form a greater whole.
This posting format works especially well for reference-style content such as backgrounders, tutorials, or other explanations. It can also work well for storytelling or analysis.
Example: You’re reading a series-format blog posting right now. I realized that this topic was far too complex to address in a single posting (even a long article), so I decided to divide it into a series.
ADVANTAGES: Readable, Comment-Friendly, Nonsequential Access
