Reply To: Dealing with short blogs.

@David – meh, no need to enforce the automatic limit too much. That’ll just make people type filler text (which is easier to do against word counts anyway; “- – – – – – – – – -” counts as 10 words).

I would say a dividing line of 200 characters is fine.

Other detail suggestions:
BBCode doesn’t count toward the char limit
Block-level tags ([header], [img], [quote], [dividers] etc) don’t get parsed in snippets, and consecutive newlines are parsed into one (to keep vertical length small)
Snippets have a liked-it but don’t count toward total
On peoples’ profiles, appears in chronological order among blogs, but are categorized separately on main page

Edit: And I see there’s a new (edit) thing.
