  Hi. I have some chapters for a prospective book that I’d like my readers to sample. Is there a way to steer them with a short post to a chapter..and where would I put that longer material?
  many thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I did not get your query properly, but you can use a read more tag..

  Yes, it’s easy. Upload the chapters as PDFs and Insert them into the post, right after your teaser paragraphs. You could, if you want, display it on the web instead of making it downloadable: in that case, just make two posts, and change the posting date of the BIG one with the whole chapter to a time from a few years ago. This will effectively hide it, and then you make the small, teaser post, and link to the big one.
