Girl oh Girl. You write some good stuff, you do. The highlighted part above: I did not know the 100 character total thing. Do you know if # of characters in a kicker are also included in the 100?

I am guessing "no" only because when one goes to publish and checks the drop down menu for title and sub, the kicker is not displayed in that drop down. But...what do I know? I am guessing here 😀

Also. Verrrrrry interesting. Read time can be monitored in seconds but posted article/poem/story only in minutes. What the? 🥰
