thanks a lot..
ReplyDeleteI do it on my website
http://juddahtech.blogspot.com
hi it's working nicely but I only want it to work on my 'home' page, not on the 'about' and 'feedback' pages. Please help!
ReplyDeletethank you so much. i tried too many times another's tips. but only your tip helped me. it's great.
ReplyDeleteI just installed this -and first it looked very good. I even altered the number of characters to display.
ReplyDeleteHowever 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteOMG !!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH ! ! ! IT REALLY WORKS ON ME . I tried soo many time for a tutorial about Read More but none worked out for me . Dissapointed for twice . But when I follow your tutorial . Thanks God it worked out perfectly . =DDD . Thousands thanks . =)
ReplyDeletethe 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
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
