How important is it to properly post an article? Think of you many times you've seen duplicate articles posted. Often within the same hour. Which has more replies? Which is the better thread? Answer: The one that has the decent excerpt and enough details that make it worth looking at.

Also, if it is your own article, don’t excerpt it. :-)

I’ve congratulated many a FReeper for lousy excerpts and wished them luck with their 12 post thread.
I normally just move on if they insist I click the link, anymore.

Might I also add.... if what you are posting is a link to a video or other site, please give some background info and outline the topic/story a bit. Many cannot look at videos at all times. Thank you!

Holy cow, that is just classic! Another good one would be the art critic in the museum examining the giant birth certificate on the wall instead of the psuedo-Pollock. I love N.R’s work.

Addendum:
Excerpting your own blog in order to get blog hits will bring you grief.
A lot of grief.
Professionally coordinated and endless grief.
Grief of Biblical proportions.
Yeah, it’ll be bad.
To: Responsibility2nd
First, great points. Second, and along those lines, regarding the blog pimping posts:<{> (1) If there isn't enough content for me to tell whether your blog is well written and makes good points, I will not follow the link. My suggestion is that you post about half or even 2/3 of the blog article.
(2) [Mainly for those who whine about any link to the poster's blog . . . ] I don't mind giving the "blog hit" if the poster has proven that he earned the hit. If we like an article, even if the whole thing is posted, we should follow the link and give the writer the hits. I don't follow ad links, because I don't want anything that's for sale, but I'm willing to give the blog hits, and I think that's fair.

Yes, but if not then I will still excerpt it even if the source is not on the excerpt list. Bandwidth costs money, long articles with hundreds of refreshes adds up to money JimRob doesn’t need to pay for. Use their bandwidth instead to read the whole article.
It’s also nice for presentation. No one wants to wade through 50 paragraph manifesto to get down to the comments. It makes it alot easier of the gist of the article is put in the excerpt and left to the user to go find more or not. Especially if you’re like me and want to get the point of things to decide if I want to investigate further. It saves time that way and I can get alot more read.
I agree though, use the 300 word limit, and put the point of the article in if possible and pertinent details.
