Promotion of Byte Speak On Connecting Singles

I just tried to post a blog article called "Wilhelm Reich's Anti-Christian Psychiatry." But it was rejected by the automated system, saying "The following errors occurred:
[Blog Post] may contain up to 4000 characters, you entered 12150."

4000 characters is a few paragraphs. My post would be five or six pages if it were printed out single spaced. This is not very long - if a reader has any interest in a particular topic, and has a background to understand the issue.

Lets see if this page will permit live links.

The link to my blog article I tried to post is:

Yeah. I have to agree with the monkey.

And you'll find most of ya audience here lose concentration after 40 characters let alone 12150 of them. Also words with more than 4 letters in them can be a major turn off.

Sorry chimp.... I'm out of bananas. How about some cabbage, bacon and spuds washed down with a good pint of guinness. It would be a nice change. beer
Billy,
what are you talking about 12150 characters ?
Blog has few sentences only !!!
dunno confused doh
Oh man your pic reminds me of Socrates! wow
Its interesting that the two people who sort of agreed with me that there might be some problems with limiting writers to 4000 characters are from Ireland and the Land Down Under. It could be that Americans are a little more in favor of the use of only one or two short sentences in communicating something.

Well, anyway, Connecting Singles does permit links to be live on blogs.

Here is another blog article which in the last part deals with the same issues of the influence of certain well known intellectuals - like Wilhelm Reich and the Frankfurt School who undermine the family and Christianity - upon the counterculture and its absorption into the mainstream popular culture:

Oh yes .... hahhaaa .... I had to edit my 2nd blog down 200 characters ........but actually ... editing does simplify things for your readers.

Reading a computer screen is not like lying in bed reading a book!

And, I think, the site has to pay for its "space"....? something like that.....so "publishing" your book should take place on a site appropriate to it?
I don't know how much money Connecting Singles can save by limiting blog posts to 4000 characters. Few people write posts longer than that.

I use several free blogs and to my knowledge none have this kind of limitation on the number of characters one can use in one single post.

Text does not use up very much space in the Internet world and so its not too expensive. For example, you can put a great deal of text on one CD which usually can handle up to 700 MB. I suspect 700 MB would be enough to handle the blogs and forums on Connecting Singles for several months.

Photos take more MB than text and if video is included on a dating site, it uses a great deal more space.

Probably the main cost to Connecting Singles is the server and the initial cost of the code to set up the dating service.
