Is that the way a blog post gets written?

---

Unless I work hard at trying to create a different effect, these columns, even with their frequent hypertextual asides, have a certain flow to them. Perhaps it can even be called a certain logic. Blog postings ordinarily have a different feel - they frequently seem choppier, less focused (or at least not focused for an extended period of time). Of course that may be little more than a stylistic device, but it seems to me that it derives from the very nature of a blog post - a snippet of information that may be connected to other snippets somewhere in cyberspace, but on the page of the blog seems to stand alone, a singular thought that rarely receives further development, additional extrapolation.

This particular column has been built up from many more snippets and notes than usual - and a large amount of collected material, almost as much as was ultimately used - was left out. But if that's the case, then this isn't "typical" blog writing, simply because, even if the end result doesn't necessarily reflect it, in its final version, almost no impulsive, "here's a thought" type writing has been left.
