Long or Short? It's a queistion

This is one blog I get in travelblog.com. The blog has been on the top featured blogs for many days from I've found this website. The author doesn't write many words about his own experience. He just maks a short article but posts on a lot of pictures below it. And he also posts the video on the top of his article. The readers can not only read from words but also the film. It makes the whole article more interesting! No wonder he has been the top for so long.

But to a language learner, is it good to watch short articles all the time? I mean, does short article help learners a lot? Or, maybe it does sometimes but not always. That's the question I want to discuss. For myself, I am a quick-reader. I don't spend too much time on reading a long article. I have no patience, exactly. So, reading a long article is a torture for me. And it keeps me from going on. Therefore, the advancement of my English skill is not very good. (In English department, teachers always ask me to read long long long article or even a book!) I know I have to do it. But I can't reach the level now. Maybe it's too guick for me to get it. So, should an article be long or short when I build a website for language learning? Hum...
