  Please add a plugin for expanding “read more” on page.
  For instance, Collapse-O-matic.

  Thanks!

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

  There is already a Read More function – what will this thing give that we don’t already have?

  And the text can now be changed if you want if my memory is correct

  I’d like to expand on what auxclass provided above.

  The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.

  If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the ext does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

  Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

  Thanks for you answers!
  I meant that the “read more” section is expanded on the same page, and does not open a new page/tab in the browser.
  Did I miss something?

  people show up everyday and want a specific Plugin – but they have no link to the Plugin over at WordPress.ORG nor do they bother to explain what feature they can’t live without – in many cases the feature is already built in – but until the needed feature is explained – it can’t be considered at all

  thanks
