  I would like for readers to have to click a “see more” button to read the whole thing so it takes up less room on my pages.
  Do I have to get a different format to do this and can you tell me the ones that have this function?

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

  This is probably what you are looking for:

  Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.

  Thanks, rootjosh. That was helpful. I went back and tried it on a post I had already published (maybe) and hit “edit” and added the line but when I looked at it, it didn’t do it. Wonder why?

  Can you tell me the name of the post you are referring to?

  It’s working now. I think I had to hit the home button to see my blog all at once to see those shortened posts. Again, thanks a lot! :-)
