Blog Tipz

A much-requested feature of Blogger users is now available – the “read more” link, which allows a blogger to split a post into two sections. Officially, they are called Jump Breaks. Before this was introduced, there was a somewhat complicated process required for using this feature that many using WordPress and other CMS systems have had for a while now.

Now that the feature is available, you need to know how to enable it and use it. Most people will have to go into the Blogger in Draft area, as the feature is being rolled out over time and may not be available to everyone yet.

To break apart a longer post using the “Read more” link, you can use the code <! — more –> within your content where you want the split to occur. This can also be done through the visual editor using the new button (the one to the far right).

Additionally, you can configure the text through the Layout > Edit > Blog Posts area. You should note that your feeds will not be changed, and will likely remain in full unless you otherwise specify.

These above changes will mostly impact those who are using Blogger’s templates and hose that haven’t been customized. Otherwise, you will have to follow a set of steps in order to enable the feature to work properly.
