Character and variable size error

Hello,

I have just made a simple forum and uploaded it to my website. Upon viewing the installation file for this forum, I encountered an error saying something similar to, 'Error: You have specified an incorrect variable number. The maximum is 255. Try BLOB.

So I quickly went to the list of reserved MySQL words or whatever and found BLOB. I do not understand how to use the BLOB as I would VARCHAR. I need a limit for characters that would be posted to be quite large, like 25,000,000. Could someone give me a hand here? I am trying to create a table through my installation file and have specified comments VARCHAR(25000000).

Thanks a lot.
