When reading blogs... do you prefer to see full blog posts on the home page? Or do you prefer to see excerpts with click to "read more" links?

Wow! Thanks for all the replies, everyone! It seems the majority opinion is to go w/ full posts. :) Right now I post regularly 3x a week (M-W-F) with the occasional odd post on another day, from time to time. I'd eventually like to get to the point of posting 5x a week (M-F). I don't have enough post ideas (or time) for that yet, though, lol. Looks like I'm keeping it as-is for now. Though if I increase my frequency, I might to to the short version. Especially since I have yet to master the art of good titles and intro paragraphs, lol.

I'm on the fence about what to do about my own blog... On one hand, I think the full post is better out of convenience. It's one less click to read the whole article. But on the other hand, I could fit twice as many posts on the home page if I just put the excepts.. because most likely a reader isn't going to be interested in every single topic - they can easier scan through more posts with this option, then go straight to the ones that they like best. So, I'm not sure, lol. I'm wondering what most people prefer?
