Pro-writing, anti-blogging, virtually everyone I've ever interacted with professionally should have a website they own with three essays on it.

So the question is.. should you market your writing as "essays"? Or will that repel the people who "don't like reading essays" and hence you should market each piece as a "post"? Or is it okay that the people who "don't like reading essays" don't read them? :)

<minor heresy> People who don't like reading are acceptable losses, at least from the perspective of career-/business-related optimization, because enough decisionmakers are voracious readers such that optimizing for them is adequate. </minor heresy>
