  14. I just installed this -and first it looked very good. I even altered the number of characters to display.

    However there seems to be a problem with Blogger's new fixed pages. Clicking read more redisplays the same "read more" entry rather than going to the real page.

    See my blog http://twabikers.blogspot.com/ and click on any one of the pages at the top.

  15. Sorry I am going to have to take this feature out. I need to stop it working any post beginning http://twabikers.blogspot.com/p/ indicating a fixed page post. Without that people cannot navigate my blog easily.

  17. the problem here is for single article only, if you write an any text in the page you want, like privacy, contact, etc. it looks like an article with read more.. that's the problem of it
