How to Blog – What is the Right Length?

I just found a question someone asked about how long a blog post should be.  The writer had been told that 300-500 words is the correct length.  Is this true?

We’re planning another trip to Roatan in the summer – probably July and August.  That way we can escape the summer heat in Texas by heading for the tropics, where we can enjoy the trade winds and snorkeling and diving in the warm waters of the Caribbean!  Why not come and join us, and maybe take a sailing trip, too?

Isn’t it great sometimes just to have fun?
