Read More Widget for Blogger

If you post a content to your blog it will displayed on a main page, if you have a long post content, your blog will opened more long time. But it can be tricked with a script to short your post or only abstraction post will dispaled on a main page, and the full post will replaced by "Read More" link. Here's the trick to create "Readmore"

1. You have to Login to blogger, then chose Layouts --> Edit HTML

2. Click on "Expand Widgets Template" checkbox.

3. Find the code below in your HTML Codes. ( the short way to find is by copy the code below then press "Ctrl + F" then paste in the box)


<div class='post-header-line-1'/> <div class='post-body'>

4. If you have found it, put the code below under the above code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<style>.fullpost{display:inline;}</style>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<b:else/>
<style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style>

5. Under the code, you will found code like this

<p><data:post.body/></p>


you
have to put the code below under it.

<a expr:href='data:post.url
'>Read More......</a>
</b:if>

6. You can change the "Read More" text with other.
7. Save your job.

8. Go to Setting Tab menu>Formatting
9. At the lower page you will found "text area" box beside text "Post Template"





10. Put the code below to the box

<span class="fullpost">

</span>


11. Then click Save the setting.
12.
Ok, we’ve got everything all setup so it’s time to go and test it out. Hopefully you’ve got a new post in mind for your blog. If not, then we’ll just create a test post which you can later delete. When you click on the “Posting” tab, you’ll notice that the post text area is now pre-populated with the
<span class="fullpost"> and
</span> tags. If not, then you didn’t save it properly so go back and redo step 8,9,10.

So when writing your new post, anything you put above the
<span class="fullpost">
tag will be the teaser text. The main body of your post needs to go in between the
<span class="fullpost">
and
</span>
tags in order for the “read more…” link to work properly. See the screenshot below. Sometimes pictures illustrate better than words.

A special page can feature information you'd like your followers to know, while a widget featuring pictures and profiles of your subscribers can encourage more to join your page by knowing everything good that you want them to know about you.

Finally blogger give easy way to make read more like wordpress.com, this function only active if you use new post editor. With Jump Breaks you can show just a snippet of your post on your blog's index page. Blogger will insert a "Read more" link to the full post page where your readers can keep reading.

If you use the new post editor (available on Blogger in Draft, or by enabling it via the Settings tab), you'll notice the "Insert jump break" icon in the editor's toolbar. Click this icon and the "jump break" will be inserted into your blog post at your cursor's position.
