Wrong.
Unless you are posting material copyrighted by someone other than yourself who is on the copyright/excerpt only list (or if perhaps you intend to sue FreeRepublic for giving you free advertising space) you are perfectly capable of posting your entire article.
I have, in fact, recently posted articles from blogs that I thought had merit, in their entirety, on the blogger’s forum.
Here are your posting guidelines from someone who should know just how the blogger’s forum was intended to function.
Be sure to read it all the way through - it wasn’t written to be excerpted.

OK, thanks. I wasn’t aware of this when I ran into the 300-word limit. I assumed that it was for all blog content. So I apologize for my misunderstanding and it won’t happen again.
But what did you think of the play?
