Hi Ian -

Cannot publish my blog on Facebook. Get message to effect that 'blog is too long.' No matter how much I chop it down, same message appears - won't take even a couple paragraphs of straight text.

Can you correct or advise?

Hey, out there... Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,

Nellie Wilson

Hi Nellie,

I got - and can respond to - your message on the BNO Facebook page. I just posted a blog myself and it worked fine.

Ok, I dunno what happened to you Nellie... and it better not be a blonde thing because I'm just NOT in the mood, ok? hahaha... ok, really now... send me what you wanted posted to your blog via email and I'll try to post in on my blog. If I can do it and you can't... well... let's see what happens, ok?

PS. Also posted this on my blog on BNO Facebook.

Hi Ian -

Definitely (for once) not a dumb blonde thing.

After I read your post, I thought maybe it's this laptop(?) so fired up the desktop... same result. On both I get the following message:

"We're Sorry
A problem seems to have occurred. Please correct the following:

Please limit your blog post to 100000 characters."

But this blog has WAAAY less than 100,000 characters, even with photos. So go figure?

Then I thought maybe it was because I 'copy & paste' from Word instead of typing directly into the "Entry" window? But I did the same on my last two posts and everything worked fine.

I tried but couldn't forward the blog to you through Facebook... says I'm limited to only 2000 characters (that ripping sound is me tearing my hair out).

You probably won't see this until tomorrow but, referring your evening plans, hope you got some good zzzzzzzzzs.

I wanna hear that song idea.

Luv ya back -

Nellie

Hey Ian -

Got it. Lots of hours and T&E but figured it out.

[T&E: Means 'trial and error.' It's a new acronym I just coined but you guys - for only a nominal royalty - are welcome to use it.] :-)

Anyway, here's the deal: I'd inserted some gibberish characters into my text, like when you want to express frustration without actually using dirty words - a kind of chickensh** way of cursing (like *^#@*)?

Seems this blog program (either Ning or Facebook) 'reads' those symbols as part of their code... and attributes a value to them.

I deleted those characters (and replaced them with some really disgusting - but authentic - words) and Bingo! Good as gold.

So maybe tell the folks if they wanna swear, just spit it out. PC sensibility ain't goin' nowhere on THIS blog site.

Yak soon,

Nellie

Just spit it out, eh?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm... nope, I better not.

Glad you got it going. Now, please tell me you didn't sit there all night (2:45 am to 6:43 am) trying to figure it all out!?

Anyhoo... I'm going to your blog so I can see what "dirty-talk" you left *snicker*

Ian -

Yup. all night. But tried a lot of things (T&E!) before I stumbled onto the solution.

Hope you like the blog...

Well I'm not sure what to say I didn't get a invite from anyone, especially from you Nellie :-) Then on the free weekend I signed up and I didn't get the confirmation e'mail. ( yet) Darn I guess that should tell me something :-)
