#13 should help?Write your whole post, then place the cursor where you want the break then click that button.

podz is, of course, correct. That’s exactly how I do it. I do tend to write the first paragraph as a teaser so the reader WANTS to read more ;) Hope that helps. Feel free to post again if it doesn’t.

OK, I got it. Thanks to both of you.
I had hoped to be able to use it repeatedly within a single post.
I have a list of summaries of research articles, and was hoping to put a “More” button after each Author & Title in the alphabetical list.
Anyway, it’s already an improvement. If you get a minute, check if I’m using it to its best advantage.

But thanks, in any case.

That is a long post. Is there any way to break it up into smaller posts, all within the same category?
-
Yes, I can break it into at least three posts, and the last one can use the More button. Or maybe it should get stuffed in a Page (static) and I can just link to it, from the post. That way at least it’ll be across 3 columns (but no comments allowed).
I wish I could make the posts appear across three columns (as the Pages do).
I just want 1 sidebar with the categories, links and meta all on one side.
Anyway, thanks for looking, VP.

I havea question this appears to be relevant. I want to have my main blog top lets say for example Apples. SO my main theme for the blog and title is apples. I have it set to where all my news posts of course show up on the main page or front page. Ok I want to start a topic and write post, and do podcasts about oranges. Can I have post and pod etc go to a different page, and continue to have my main theme apple continue to post on the main or fron page. I guess the simplest way to ask is can I control what pages each post will post on??? This is rather urgent. I am in a jam here.
Thanks Mark Taylor PhD.

No, posts can only appear on one page of your blog at WordPress.com; that’s usually the front page, the one which is dynamic and updates constantly. All other pages are static and you can’t use them for other posts.
Your best bet might be to create a new post each time you do a podcast, but assign a unique tag or category like “podcast” to it; that way if someone clicks on “podcast” in your sidebar, they’ll get all your posts and podcasts. Or otherwise create a separate blog for the podcasts and link to it in your sidebar so people can find it. Hope that helps.
