dynamic content restrictions?

I want to have "chunks" of dynamic content populating an ASP page... like
you might see the first 250 characters, followed by the "... (learn more)"
link taking the user to a detail page outlining the full article. Does DW
have a way that I can restrict the blurb to only X number of characters?

No. But VBScript does. And you can use it, too. It's the left(string,
length) function. So, if you wanted the first 100 characters, you would do
this -

<p><%= Left(yourstringvariablename, 100) %>... (More)</p>
