That would also work and be very easy to do too.

The second post has its date set WAY in the past, like 2001, so it doesn't show up in Recent Posts and the only way to get to it normally is via the link which warns of the spoilers.

It will, however, go out on your RSS feed. Just put SPOILERS in the title and then anyone who reads that post gets what they deserve.

The jumping to different pages really doesn't; work too well since I would have to create multiple pages for each review...

...but the jumping within a page to a specific point in the page may work a lot better! It' would just require me to place all of the spoilers at the end of the review and then jump to the specific spoiler if the reader wants to know.

*crossing fingers* I hope this works!

Perhaps a better aporoach would be using page jumps that is links to specific points on a page, or maybe not.

For that you could use the "next page" tag instead.

I just tried it out (and unless I did it wrong) the "More" tag is more of a hyperlink than hides a spoiler.

Not sure how I could make that work... :(

I have a book blog here and occasionally there are things that are discussed that are considered spoilers for the books we are reviewing. Is there anyway to have some type of "spoiler tag" to assist with this? Or could you point me in the direction of the ones that are already present?

Goodreads has a spoiler option. It is < spoiler> text goes here </ spoiler>. What ends up happening is that all the text within the brackets is condensed and just says "spoiler." The reader then clicks on the spoiler link and the words that were hidden are exposed for that reader.

We would love something like that!
