How to insert a “Read more” tag to blogger posts.





 Having a choice of making your blogger posts on your home page have a "Read more" text or button is an awesome element that makes your blog entries basic, more appealing and professional. Envision every one of your posts stacking up the entire home page, it is disgusting. I encountered this issue the very day I began blogging and I chose to share how I handled the issue.

The "Read more" component or "Jump Break" is an element which gives you a chance to make expandable post summaries in your blog entries; configuring longer posts to appear as an introduction on the home page with a link to Read More. With Jump Breaks you can just show a snippet of your posts on the home page of your blog as blogger will embed a "Read More" connection to the full post where your readers can continue reading.

 A few people say it generates more traffic to your blog; it doesn't only do that, It additionally helps in keeping your blog's interface extremely basic and valuable.


This is the way to do it:

Before we dwell into that, you can first of all activate post pages and set it to let’s say, 5 posts on the home  page. Simply sign into your blogger dashboard, go to SETTINGS > FORMATING and set the "show at most" choice to '5 posts on the main page'. You can pick any number you wish any way.

The Jump Breaks can undoubtedly be made from blogger post editorial manager. You ought to firstly choose where in the post you need to make the jump break and place the cursor bolt in that position. In the event that you utilize the new post editorial manager accessible on Blogger in draft or by enabling it by means of the Settings tab, you will see the "Insert jump break" symbol in the editor’s toolbar.

 Click this symbol and "jump break " will be inserted into your blog entry at your cursor's position. The "jump break " icon looks like a torn piece of paper as seen in the screenshot below:



Note that the “Jump break” will not work when you preview your blog post, you have to publish it first before you can see the “Read More’’ link inserted in your post.

Would you like to change the "Read More" content to something of your style and taste? Alright. You can without much of a stretch edit the "Read More" content by clicking Layout and then Edit the Blog Posts widget. Check the screenshot below:



You ought to likewise observe that the "Jump Break" feature does not change how your post shows up in your feed. You can configure post feed options by going to Settings > Basic > Site Feed and editing Allow Blog Feeds.

Is the Jump Break not working on Blogger? On the off chance that essentially utilizing the "Jump break" button on Blogger does not work, it might be that you are making use of old template or a customized/third-party template or you have messed around a lot in your template HTML and need to reset it.


Now that you can add “Read more ” tag or “Jump Break” to your  blog posts, you can enjoy blogging  and be  sure to get one more click on every post.
