Providing a summary of a blog post

How to provide a summary of your Blogger.com blog entry:

1. Configure the HTML of your posting template:





1. Navigate your browser to your Blogger Dashboard.


2. Click on the "Settings" link under your blog in the list


3. You will be on the "Basic" page of your blog settings. In the second title menu, click on "Formatting" to navigate to that page.


4. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings-Formatting page, to the Post Template field.


5. Put the following in the text edit box for that field:


Here is the summary of my post. <span class="fullpost">And here is the rest of it.</span>





2. Create your new posts




1. Replace the text "Here is the summary of my post." with the text you want to appear 'above the fold'.


2. Replace the text "And here is the rest of it." with the text you want to be hidden until the reader clicks on 'read more'. Be careful not to delete or overwrite the html tags that define your post structure!
