Enough With the “Numbered” Posts

By JLP | February 16, 2007

Something I noticed while preparing my Weekly Roundups.

Have you noticed lately that there have been a lot more “Numbered” posts from different bloggers? You know what I’m talking about:

“10 Tips…”

“5 Ways…”

“642 Secrets…”

Personal finance bloggers (myself included until recently) are in love with the numbered post. I like them and have used them numerous times because they give a sense of structure to a blog post. However, like everything else, they are getting overdone (the same can be said for the number of “carnivals” out there). It’s to the point now that I don’t even read them.

Do you read numbered posts?
