I would throw in THIS tip too ! Some folks post excerpts unnecessarily.
Only the WP and LAT sources require excerpts.

Outside of WP and LAT articles I would think that only EXCEPTIONALLY LONG articles need excerpting.

That's not completely accurate.

The settlement includes the parent companies, not just WP and LAT.

If you look at the home page and click on the judgment documents, you will find over a hundred sources that must be excerpted.



Admin Moderator,
Please correct me if I misunderstood the Washington Post/LA Times settlement.

We're also not allowed to post full text from the Onion or anything from Conde Nast. That's a recent development.

Not that much from Conde Nast would make it here anyway.
