I do blogging daily so that I could add content to the site which will help search engines to list my site. But I do have a query regarding number of posts.

How many posts should be on a page? Some say 3-4 posts on a single page could be better.

I'm making only one post on each page, Is it a problem?

You can note this by visiting my blog http://www.onlinedownloads.org/diary/

Well I usually do 4-5 posts per page ..all limited to 250 chars with a Read more button.
I'm doing like this with the idea in mind that if some one is not interested in first subject ,may be he's interested in second or third... Anyway not too many otherwise your blog will looks like craiglist hehe Smile

You could setup your WordPress blog to show only the last full post and then excerpts or even just the title of the others. This take as bit of code hacking on your theme.

I use the excerpt option on my blogs and with this you must write an excerpt when you make a post or just the title will show on the main (index.php) page.

I'm not sure that it matters all that much. I keep 8 or 9 posts on my home page, but I've seen others with varying amounts.

Depending on the length of your posts, I would have around a weeks worth on the front page. If your posts are really long I would put less on the front page.

Categories are very helpful for readers that want to read more on a particular subject.

This is something I've also been pondering.

At the moment, I'm set up for 10 posts and the full length of each post is shown.

I try and stick to between 3 and 4 that is a nice balance but is not too big to affect downloading speed.

Around 7/8 posts per page seems a good balance between having enough posts and looking too scrambled .

I think you have to strike a balance between having some content on there and going a bit too far i always try and keep it to about 3 posts that seems to work well for me.

Think of your reader. At some point scrolling becomes tedious. I always organize content so it will display normally on a 17" screen set at 1024x768 and consider that to be a standard for what I am doing.

I try not to make users have to use the mouse to scroll for any of my most important items.
