Regarding BL Blogs-caution this turned n2 a dopalogue

I know its been a long ass time since.Ive.been here and I saw your comment saying BL blogs have always had a word limit, to which I said,"Ah, but you havent been to the older BL blogs say from 2006, maybe even 2008? The older blog entries USED to be on here b4
upgrade #8339 haha or however many bleepin upgrades ago its now been, hell I cant keep track. The point being that when I went to get the proof from some random older entries from 2005 and b4--went on and on and on MANY pages, as I found out when I went to complete the long ass task of printing the blogs from 2008 all the way to when they began back in 2003--as BL warned of upcoming upgrade which would NOT allow access to archive entries, and eventually they did,

(BUT alas the wisdom of the BL blog mod god squad dictated that Behold! Let there be yet another BL blog upgrade, for it hath been deemed by the mighty and invisable , for the great all knowing, all powerful saints and righteous of the Bluest of the Blog Mod Squad lords & lordettes hath declared
Let There Be Yet Another Blue Blog Light Upgrade, for We are the Lords & Lordettes and We hath declared that it be so and who so ever sayeth thou shalt upgradeth Naught, shall Blogeth in the Great BL Lake of blue fires, and brimstone!")

Okay, I did it again. First time in 800 years I actually managed to align inspiration, desire and motivation to write-in spite of G-Tab only, no printer, & til now no way to save files. Anyway, duck a fuck, didnt mean for this to be long-point: I saw a thread in TDS asking for feedback,maybe response poetic answers to his questions in poetic form. . ? Maybe . . ? I think . . ? I have no fucking clue. . ? Whatever he did or did not want, guess who replied. . A) Donald Trump B) Donald Duck C) The Mighty Ducks D) TJ E) Dr. Lao Tsi Lay or F) Pluto

So, after reply was written, I didnt post it cause it was too long. I hadnt planned on it turning into a Pillalogue novella. Just like the old days haha. But back in those DAZE of 2003-2005 there was a blissful paid 6 month vacation with my two story townhouse, lots of crystal meth, my own working PC, no obligation to a job, leaving me free and the BL Blogs vulnerable to my many massive methalogues.

So, I put my reply onto a google doc, saved it & gonna attempt to upload that piece of historical dopalogue to my blog instead of subjecting some poor soul to this chemalogue.
Initially I too, adhered to the rhythm and rhyme of poetry, half ass attempt anyway, but then as usual poems are rarely short, especially when I dont want to forget what the hell I wanted to say (as it was somewhat serious)as writing an answer in poetic form requires
ALOT of leisurely pace trying to say what I want to say while making it half way suitable to the rhythm & rhyme scheme. It requires going into my rocket ride of TJ Inner Space then translating the pictures within communicating it by painting a portrait in literary styles/scenic mode. You've heard the saying,"A picture is worth a thousand words," and I cant draw freehand and I cant paint-Im just not that kind of artist. So, I have to take a thousand words and hope I succeed in turning it into a colorful picture.

 

Yeah, the old Journal system was different. I wasn't a mod then so I couldn't tell you much about it, but it wouldn't surprise me if the old system didn't have the same sort of limit. The current software does have some downsides, but the interface is shiny and it's a dead simple plugin for site architecture/maintenance purposes.

What I've done with good success in the past is split up long posts into an original posts and a series of replies. In my case I made the cuts at likely enough points in the narrative, but there really isn't any reason why you couldn't cut it at character 9999 and then continue afterwards. AFAIK comments are allowed the same number of characters as posts.

I do certainly hope that you're able to sort out posting your epic! I'd be interested in reading it, for sure.

 

Yes, it has always had a limit and though I don't keep track of the exact charcter count caps every version seems to have the same length. The only difference as far as I can tell was in 09, maybe 10 when "Journals" became "Blogs" though it was different software because alas, all those years of my Shandyesque verbal diarreah have disappeared into the ether.

 

TJ!!!!!! 'duck a fuck'!!!!!!!!

I'm going to hold you to your promise that you will copy paste that Word doc here. Dave made a good point. He would post a lengthy entry and then continue the entry through a comment. (He's a smarty pants, that one!)
