"Read More" (i.e. "After the Jump") Links Now Available for Long Posts

Fellow Zoners,

Octo and I have updated the blog's editing panel a bit, so now, for longer posts, you have the option of using the editing panel icon that looks like a page ripped in half (it's the sixth icon from the right) to insert a "Read More >>" link wherever you place the cursor, which makes it possible to post a substantive entry without taking up a lot of space initially.  Here's an example below:

Short descriptive text or just your first paragraph goes here.  Short descriptive text or just your first paragraph goes here. Short descriptive text or just your first paragraph goes here. Short descriptive text or just your first paragraph goes here. Short descriptive text or just your first paragraph goes here. 

Then you insert the "Read More >>" link and below it you can place the rest of your post's text.



*Click "Home" (or use your browser's back button) to return this post to its initial state.  (*It might be a good idea to type in this instruction line since the "Read More >>" link doesn't seem to toggle.)

Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.  Here you have inserted the rest of your post.

  3. While it's a groovy tool to have--many would argue that my long-winded ass would benefit from using "read the rest" links, I'd guess--there are times you just need that full-on visual impact. (I happened to recently find myself re-reading this old SWASH ZONE post, fer'instance...)

    I guess what I'm saying is, use it judiciously, (and in good health, of course).
