Read More Hack


Hello Guys, i think all the wine has gone now! So i thought i would pass on the information about the read more thing i now now use on my blog. This information was given to me by the wonderful Comedy Plus and several of you have expressed and interest in knowing more about it (i do try to pay attention to you!)
Why use the read more function? Well if you get a bit long winded like myself its good, keeps blog looking tidy and also if you want to.........



Post funny or scary pictures!
So here is the information as provided by Comedy Plus

Go to the website provided and read carefully! you will have to mess around with your blog template html, if you have installed Mr Linkies or anything like that then you should be able to do it.

Here is the website address click here. When I copied and pasted the second page the "red" insertion didn't come with it. I remember doing this is a different order. I did the first part, then went to the post template and then put in the:

Type your summary here
< id="fullpost">
Type rest of the post here
< /span>


Then I did the Step II. It wouldn't save in the template without the "POST TEMPLATE" stuff then went back to the HTML and it saved then. Let me know if you run into a problem?
SAVE YOUR TEMPLATE BEFORE DOING THIS! Just in case...

  7. Good for you Claire. This is not difficult to do and your instructions are excellent. Hey, if we can do it then anyone can. You switched #3 with #2 and that's the most important part. Well, first is saving your blog before you do this hack. Toodle Pip.
