    Here's the tl;dr:

    * The best blog posts are narrowly scoped and focused on a single point

    * Trying to do too much in a blog post can distract from the main point and weaken the argument

    * Having a clear, well-defined main point improves the clarity and persuasiveness of your writing

    * It also increases the shareability and reference-ability of your piece

    * Respect your readers' time by making the main point clear upfront

    * There are exceptions to this rule, such as educational pieces or literary works
