I am a bloggy site, and I want to have more than 2000 characters on the from page. Any way to make this happen?

From what I can tell, if you go into your modules directory on your site, and look @ the node.module file, it's in there.

Do a search for 2000 and it will show you how that form field is being populated. I am assuming that if you mimic it, and set something larger, say 4000, it will add an extra entry into the form list and allow the max # of words to be 4k instead of 2k. Give that a try.

Editing node.module is a bad idea, especially for something this minor. If you go to admin/settings/node on your site, you'll see that the 'Length of trimmed posts' field has a setting for 'unlimited.' If you REALLY want fine grain control over the teasers, check out excerpt.module.

At least I can not see it, not sure where it is... Do I need a mod installed?

Go to admin » content » configure » Length of trimmed posts

Change this setting to 'Unlimited'. Then when you create a new node put <!--break--> where you want the teaser to be truncated.

You could also use the excerpt module.
