Personally, i depends on the topic discussed in the post. If it is related to guitar gadgets and stuff, I am willing to read every single line. Of course as a blogger, it depends on what info you are trying to share with your readers. If it is just about 'how to make nice tasting iced Milo', I don't think putting a 500 words post is suitable. :P Everyone has good points here.

Your blog, your own style, your own time. unless you are paid, sponsored to post long, then, there's no choice. I also like what weirdoux said about the title and as for me, title can set the mood of the reader. I don't mind reading the long post as long as it is interesting as the title mentioned. Great post again Gaman :) So I would say the length of articles you should write will depend on your time and commitment as well as the type of audience you have.

I think long posts should be separated into parts. This is especially pertinent to those publishing on blogs without paging. Another factor to consider is the user might pause and resume reading over a period of time. That's one of the reason people use books and not scrolls... The key is keeping the users’ attention.

Keep it short and straight to the point. IMHO, short posting is much more effective especially when it is a technology, tips or tutorial related posting. Keep it short and straight to the point.
