My 1st whale of a post | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

So a few weeks ago, I was chatting with Sam (@yakezie) & LaTisha (@youngfinances) on twitter. The topic was writing a 'whale of a post' with 1,000+ words and 100+ comments (which includes your own). I thought that was totally impossible for me to do. LaTisha did hers on the 17th, and it was great. :-) I just couldn't come up with anything that required that many words.

Today I realized that my post from yesterday, The Downside of Using Credit Cards Responsibly was actually a little over 1,200 words. So, I was actually able to write a post of 1,000+ words, even if it wasn't on purpose. I didn't get the 100+ comments part, but I got a few.

If you wanna check it out, here it is: http://www.mastertheartofsavin…..sponsibly/

I am heading over to check it out. Congrats on your whale post!

Great work Jen!  I really enjoyed that particular post.  Some longer posts are definitely a good idea, although sometimes the shorter posts do just as well.  I've got some posts coming up that I might've got carried away with that far exceeded 1000 words.  I just hope it doesn't limit comment activity.

Nice post Jen, your up to 24 comments!

Thanks guys, you're all awesome.  I can't believe how many comments there are, I usually don't get too many.

Wonderful!  You are inspiring me to get busy on my Valentine's Day post.

Great post!  I left a comment.  Maybe this post will help others realize that credit cards really only serve to complicate our lives, not make them easier like the marketing would like us to believe.  Going debt free?cash only is the only way to go in my book!

Thanks Jason. They really can just end up making things complicated and stressful.

Very interesting story.  I have very similar habits to you, it has worked out so far for me with the amount of rewards I receive.

Jen you rock. I am happy you met that goal.
