Dealing with Long Posts

As you may have noted, I write long posts. To avoid clogging up the main page, I've set it up so that you can display only a portion of your post on the main page and then have the reader click on a link to read mode. To do this, add the following code to your post


The start of a really long post
<span class="fullpost">
blah, blah, blah, blah
</span>


Then only the words "The start of a really long post" will appear on the front page. The reader will have to click a link that says "Read More" in order to see the words "blah, blah, blah, blah".

Hi Amanda!

That's a real nifty trick you have to deal with long posts. How did you set it up? I'd very interested in using it myself...

Cheers,

It took me a while to figure out since the recipe at that time wasn't linked from the Blogger webpage.
