Many bloggers found out that their posts were too long in their blog home page. This resulted a lengthy home page which annoyed the readers. Blogger users faced this problem in the previous years as Blogger didn't have this "Read more" feature yet. But, Blogger had announced the availability of this feature on Blogger Birthday last year. It was a great present for Blogger users especially me.
This useful feature was called Jump Breaks!
With Jump Breaks you can show just a snippet of your post on your blog's index page. Blogger will insert a "Read more" link to the full post page where your readers can keep reading.
There are a couple of ways to insert a "Read more" jump to your posts. If you use the new post editor (available on Blogger in Draft, or by enabling it via the Settings tab), you'll notice the "Insert jump break" icon in the editor's toolbar. Click this icon and the "jump break" will be inserted into your blog post at your cursor's position.
If you don't use the new post editor, you can still insert a jump break in Edit HTML mode by adding <!-- more --> where you want to position the jump break.
Want to change the "Read more" text to something you like? No big deal. You can edit the "Read more" text by clicking Layout and then Edit the Blog Posts widget.
One more thing, the Jump Break feature does not change how your post appears in your feed. However, you can configure post feed options by going to Settings | Basic | Site Feed, and editing Allow Blog Feeds.
