    Hi all

    I just started my blog and I need some help to design it.
    My blog is only for wallpapers :) . and my posts are very long and 2-3 post in one single page is making it too long so I need to change it a little.

    When I visit this blog http://orkutting-tricks.blogspot.com I saw that this blog's posts are not in its full length on the home page. after a few lines there is a link to read the complete post. please visit that page to see how it is.

    Then I tried to copy that code but unable to do that. anyhow I find out the theme which was used there. and that also did not work.

    I find <style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style> this style before posts, on that web pages' source code. but unable to use that style.

    even for this I install that theme but there was no such function like that.

    here is the templet that site is using
    http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?32yksl8dpib

    and my current templet
    http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yesrxkjyt2p

    Somebody please help me out

    thanks in advance



    If I should not give such links please inform me and please dont delete my account :)

    That is referred to as 'peek-a-boo' posts. It is a CSS/javascript trick. Here are a couple of links for editing your templates to get you started.

    How can I make show/hide links for my posts?
    Make Show/Hide Links for Blog Posts.

    If you need to search for other Blogger tips and hacks: Blogger Hacks, Tips and Information Search Page

    I thought I saw something about 'true excerpts' for Blogger in Draft . But cannot find it now.

    At any rate, another thing you may be interested in (and a long time coming) is Embedded Comment Forms. You can now post comments on the same page that your post is on without having to go to a popup/external page.

    blogger help says

    step 1

    css
    .posthidden {display:none}
    .postshown {display:inline}

    Your style sheet is usually near the top of your template, between the <style> and </style> tags." so I paste that where post - menu styles are

    but I didn't find any such tags in my templet

    spet2 was easy and clear

    but in the spet 3 - <Blogger></Blogger> again not in my script
    and it is saying about unique ID which I dont know how to add :confused:

    if you want I'll call you to edit my templet as admin

    Please do this little favour to me :eek:
    send me a private msg

    Hey I got this link and I'm done

    http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/02/how-to-create-post-summaries-in-blogger.html?

    that is hard

    this process is easier and short

    FIRST STEP: Find the ]]> </b:skin> </head> tags.

    SECOND STEP: Insert the BLUE TAGS in the middle of the RED TAGS.

    ]]></b:skin>

    <style>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
    span.fullpost {display:inline;}
    <b:else/>
    span.fullpost {display:none;}
    </b:if>
    </style>

    </head>

    And then, hit the "Save Now" Button.

    THIRD STEP: CHECK the BOX of EXPAND WIDGET TEMPLATES

    FOURTH STEP: Find the <data:post.body/> tag.

    FIFTH STEP: Add the BLUE TAGS after the RED TAG.

    <data:post.body/>

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
    <a expr:href='data:post.url' target='_blank'>Read more!</a>
    </b:if>

    SIXTH STEP: Hit the "Save Now" Button.

    SEVENTH STEP: Go to your SETTINGS > FORMATTING

    Scroll Down Until POST TEMPLATE and add the Blue Tags

    Introduction
    <span class="fullpost">
    Full Content
    </span>

    and Hit "Save Now" Button

    EIGHT STEP: Edit All of Your Post With your new POST TEMPLATE...
