Yesterday I left a comment here and it didn't appear. I'm testing with Opera (if it is is FireFox issue) because I've noticed similar problem at other websites too. Or is there something the your spam catcher does like? :) Hi Kian…just checking. Yesterday I left a comment here and it didn’t appear.

Now that you brought it up, I think there are two ways to do it, one is the cliff hanger way you mentioned - using subheadings to entice people to read the paragraph, and the other using subheadings to tell the whole story!

I remember reading the original post by Brian a few days ago, and even then too I thought something like, "Why so much impatience that we have to device ways to make people read?" I agree there is lots of junk on the Internet, but the other fact is, there is lots of FREE junk available on the Internet and that's what makes us impatient. The moment we start paying, we start taking things seriously. There is no directly impact -- financially ,socially, politically and such right now. I read newspaper patiently because the news published there directly or indirectly affect me and my family. A nice post Kian.

The subheadings part i think should be like a clif hanger here you put "The best way to do it is using subheadings" that tells me everything and i actually skipped that part because you pritty much told me all i needed to know in the subtitle. "So you need to turn scanners back to readers" i liked that title its aimed at you saying that you need to turn them into readers so read this! :D That was a brilliant post, i must admit I’m guilty of scanning the pages but it all depends on if i can be bothered.
