Valid until 31 January 2015 (unless noted)

Read more on blogspot or blogger blog is considered as the important element. As blogger user I think you should add the "read more" to simplify your blog posts in your home page, then your home page should not be too long, viewing each post with fullpost all in your homepage. Not only that, viewing only one paragraph per each post in your homepage makes your blog / website more fast loading and you still can view many blog posts on your homepage with simple view. Once your visitors / readers click the "read more" link or post title, they will directed to your post page (fullpost). Default blogger template usually does not have a "read more" tag, so you have to add read more on blogspot manually. UPDATE : Click : New Blogger Read More - Jump Break
