		<description>Thanks for the reply Hunter :)

Well I did my post on EvolvingWellness.com and as I started writing it, I realized that what I had in mind and what it actually evolved to turned out a little different. So instead of just one list post, I evolved it into an ongoing series. The length of the article was my deciding factor. But you bet, any list posts I do will be responsible, because I seriously want to add value and not just fill up space.

So thanks again for this article, it definitely gave me some good things to think about and helped me consider how to make my writing even more meaningful :)</description>

		<description>@ Evita, I&#039;m sure you would only use list posts responsibly. :) Yes, this is a list post, but only a list post about list posts can show the problem with list posts, or something like that.</description>

		<description>LOL Hunter...I am glad I came to see this as I was just about to start a new article that, ready for this, was going to be a list post 

But it is going to be a really valuable one, I swear - LOL :)  And the list is only going to be 5 numbers.

Ok, ok all kidding aside yes there are some list posts that you don&#039;t know what to do with, as you said, who is going to remember anything over geez 20 tips really, never mind 100 or 200. Like you said, give one or two meaningful things to do not something most people will drown in.

But having said that, some are really good, and some really work for people, especially when they want to learn/scan something fast (again only if it is well written).

And wait a minute... isn&#039;t this post of yours sort of a list post too ;)</description>

		<description>@ Carla, gosh, I&#039;d really hate a list post if I didn&#039;t even know what they were talking about!

@ Nicole, I hadn&#039;t thought about it that way, but I guess it&#039;s true when I think about all the spam comments that get automatically filtered out.</description>

		<description>They can be good if the writer actually explain what #1. XYZ actually means.  When you just advise the reader to &quot;just do this&quot; without explanation, then I&#039;m lost.</description>
