Help with making my blog posts shorter

by fredjr1978

Ok, if you go to my blog (in my signature) you will see that most of my articles are a pretty good size.

What is the best way to add in a "click to see more" button and allow them to see the rest of the article? The only way I know of is to create it's own page for each article or post?

Thank in advance for any input.

    If you're using WordPress, have you tried the "more" button? It adds the code to break the article. What's before the "more" code will appear on your front page, and then they'll need to click the link to view the full post.

    Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

    Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

      Found it! Incase anyone is looking, it can be found in the HTML format of your article. Just press the HTML tab at the top right of your article and you will see a more tab. Just put your cursor where ever you want the more tab and the press the more tab.
