    hi,
    i was thinking about adding a new button in Code mode which would add some predefined text made of many standard formatting buttons, i think its gonna be based on [img] or [more], these are only one-click buttons ;)

    There are differences between wordpress.com wp-MU (a multi-user blogging software) and the regular free standing wordpress.org software that are outlined at the link above.

    Here at wordpress.com we cannot access our underlying templates and edit them. If we could then the changes we made would likewise effect all other blogs with the same template. We cannot use javascript or some embeds or forms or iframes (see: the FAQs) either, due to security reasons.

    If you want a template you can hack then your best bet is to hire a web host and download a free template from http://wordpress.org

    If you decide to keep your wordpress.com blog then this will address your question about using the more tag.

    Inserting the More Tag
    When writing a lengthy post there is an option to having the whole post appear on the front page of your blog. You can break the text and have the remaining text appear on another page.

    Only one theme at wordpress.com I know of the Hemingway theme always displays only excerpts from two posts side-by-side on the front page.

    The Fadtastic theme shows one complete post on the front page and then only linked titles to the other posts.

    In all other themes more tag must be added using either the visual rich text editor, the standard editor or hand coding it into each post you that you wish to break the text into smaller segments in.

    (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 hand coding in
    <!–more your text goes here more!–>.
