So that's why my blogs in Blogger go on and on and on and on and (and on... and so forth?) This post was very helpful for me. As I am an extensive writer, I also realize from this new information on long blogs, that I could be boring my readers. I really love Blogger because its user friendly and easy to learn, but I don't love the fact that it doesn't offer a "see more" or "click here for more" feature. This wouldn't have ever dawned on me had I not read this post. My thought was that this is just the way blogging is--some are long and some are short... but at the same time, not knowing that I (as the user) have control over how much I care for my readers to see. Enlightening! I must have scared some of my readers away once they saw a mass mess of words on one page.
So as a result of my new found knowledge, I am now searching for a new blog tool that offers the "more" link. My greater hope is that Blogger will update their software to include this feature for their users so that they don't start looking for other fish in the sea (as I am...) Really though, I won't leave blogger for a new love completely, I will just use it occasionally for the blogs that I know will be "short and sweet!" Happy blogging!
If you find something to add the "more" button let us know. I know that it's built into wordpress.com and you can kind'a do it with livejournal.com but not blogger.com. That's one reason I moved away from LiveJournal was to have more control of the look of the blog on the front page.
