Did not know there’s a character limit to articles. Do you know what the limit is?
If the article must be excerpted, I think there’s a 250 word limit. But that’s the only limit I know of. As far as I know, there’s no character limit on articles that do not have to be excerpted.
Lastly, FWIW, I just tried previewing a post after I had pasted in the entire article. Got no warning, etc.
Every time I get the red-letter warning about exceeding the limit, I just post it below in a response to the article.
It’s either that or just excerpting, which gives me a lot of grief from the peanut gallery here at FR.
