  I have some very long blogs on my homepage that I want to abbreviate by adding (more) after two paragraphs. How do I do that? I’ve searched throughout WordPress and can’t find the answer. HELP!!!!

  (1) If you are using the visual rich text editor then the icon number to use is #13 and you use it wherever you want the text break to occur. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/15/what-do-all-the-icons-mean/

  (2) If you are using the standard editor click the [more] button wherever you want the text break to occur.

  (3) If you are hand coding type in <!–more–> wherever you want the text break to occur.

  (4) If you do not like the text that the theme is hardcoded to provide when you use the more tag you can change it by handcoding in
  <!–more your text goes here more!–>

  Excellent tip! I don’t see any breaks in the “preview” mode, but trust all will be well when the posts will be live.

  I’m glad you found this helpful. And you’re right about preview mode – the breaks will be there when you publish.
