Today I learned that Internet Explorer limits the site of GET requests to 2,083 characters. Any URL longer than this cannot be used by the web browser.

I can’t help but wonder where that number comes from? The closest power is 11 (2^11=2048), which doesn’t correspond at all to this limit. Is it arbitrary? Other web browsers (Firefox, Safari) do not have this limitation.

That’s certainly true. It’s cool that you Grokodile folks take the time to check out newly submitted blogs – you have a neat site!
Thanks!
You’d be surprised. We probably reject more blogs than we approve… and generally all we want is real blogs with real content written by real people.
