Audioblog. I want to read the body of a post when browsing a blog. Why do so many blogs just list titles, requiring me to have to click one-by-one to read posts?

I’m not sure. But I recorded a quick audioblog talking about it.

Don’t have time to listen? I asked a LLM to turn it into a blog post:

Most blogs show just a list of titles. Click. Read. Back. Click. Read. Back.

I prefer seeing entire posts on one page, one after another. Just scroll and read.

It puzzles me how many blogging platforms default to title-only lists. Why?

Maybe it’s just my way of reading. I like scanning quickly through content, letting interesting bits catch my eye. Others might prefer a more methodical approach: carefully selecting posts from a clean list of titles.

The title-only approach does add a certain weight to each post. When you click through to a dedicated page, it feels more substantial, like you’re about to read something significant.

But for short posts especially, I want to just scroll and read. No clicks needed.

Curious to hear from those who prefer the title-list approach. What am I missing?
