Public Service Announcement: Paragraphs

I won't pretend my blog posts are error free. I recognize my writing weaknesses and have come across typos, spelling errors and grammatical errors when later re-reading my posts from time to time. Most of the time I chalk them up to rushing (I am completely incapable of slowly re-reading my posts before tapping the "publish" button) but much of the time there's no other explanation that suits other than admitting I sometimes make stupid mistakes.

Based on that, by all means, feel free to ignore this post.

Surfing around the blogosphere I'm noticing an annoying trend. How many times have you come across a blog whose content looks vaguely appealing only to see this?

Can you read that? I can't. Personally, I'd rather have a blog's author err on the side of creating too many separate paragraphs than too few.

Here's the Public Service Announcement: if you find your post looking like the above example try proofreading and break up a single paragraph in multiple spots. I promise that it will make that post, and whereby, your blog, eminently more read-able.
