HELP! Language B Written Assignment: What counts towards word count?

[nbortfeld]

Hey guys,

I'm writing a blog post for my german b written assignment. I am just above the 400 word limit and i'm struggling to cut it down, however atm I am including the title and bits like "written by N. B. on December 25th, 2016" because it's a blog post and it supports the text type. Do these words count towards the final word count? If not it'll save my life haha. 

Thanks!

The title does not count. Unfortunately, the other bits do count. Best of luck.

I just thought about it more over breakfast and I would recommend writing "written by N. B. on December 25th, 2016" as "N.B. 25-12-2016". That will still help you in the formatting category and hopefully leave you with more words to spare as the examiner will count that as two at most.
