How Much of The Story To Give

How much is too much information on a page for you? I have been playing with a new plugins that I really like, but it isn't without its problems when dealing with custom blogging templates.

I have had to limit the height of posts on the my blog.php and hide the overflow. This works great for what I need. What I would like to know is if this is too much of the story or not enough or if I should cut back on the number of posts per page.

Thanks and for the record the sidebar is the next thing to under go redesign.

    Hi - erm, just took a look - seems a bit screwed up -- the post at the foot of your page is cut off midway through a line. And the ads in the sidebar are not well-organised. It took forever to load. Also, I can't abide those ads that jiggle and joggle around and flash at me so that I go cross-eyed trying to read the content. Jus' sayin'

      The posts will get cut up mid line and mid photo many times, it is the blog page with shortened posts in chronological order no more no less as it should be. It is both a design and SEO mistake to put an entire post on the blog or home page as the case may be. My question is was the amount of text too much or too little to give you an idea of what is on the actually behind the cut? Secondly were there too many stories presented? My design goal for them was to have an entire story section with navigation fit on the screen of most readers.

      Like I said the sidebars is going through its own separate set of changes. I prefer to only work on one headache at a time.
