Just thinking that you could make a sub page and on the parent about page, put the text you wanted to be there, and then at the bottom put a link to the second part, which you would put on the sub page.

The whole content of About Me will always be shown on the About Me page; it does not get posted to the main blog, though, because it's a static page. It's not connected with the blog posts at all except through navigation links.

The icon 13 works on my posts. But it doesn't work at all in my About Me page. I don't want my whole content in the About Me page to be shown in the main page. Here's the URL of the specific page i was talking about: http://pfiel86.wordpress.com/about/
As you can see, even the <!--more--> tag is visible in my post. I don't know why it showed like i only put one hyphen "-" before and after 'more'. But when i edit it, here's what the whole line is, "Here, I open up my experiences in a Young Married Life. <!--more-->"
Can anyone explain this to me? Does this doesn't really work on an About Me page? Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for checking. In any case, displaying only a single post on the blog AND using the More tag will really annoy readers and kill your hits rather than force more. It is not something I would advise.

That isn't the case when i test it on my test blog. The main site is not the same as the single post page, even if there is only one post showing.

@pfiel86,

Please give us a link to a specific post where you are using the More tag and it's not working. Also, if you can, please post here a couple of lines (including the line with the More tag) from the code editor of the post, so we can see exactly what you have in there. Post the code between backticks (`).
Click here to see how to enter the code with backticks if you're not sure

You have only one post displaying on each page of your blog, so that the blog itself is also the post's unique webpage...just set the blog so it displays more than one post on the front page and you should find the MORE breaks showing up.

The correct url for your blog is
http://fundmasteryblog.wordpress.com/

This blog is in The Silver is the New Black theme. I just put that same theme up on my test blog and used icon 13 on the visual rich text editor and inserted a <!--more--> tag with no problem. The tag does not show until the post is published and once it is published the tag works only while the post is on the front page, exactly as would be expected.

Perhaps these instructions will help:
Using the "read more tag" to split long posts

If you follow the instructions and still do not get a "read more" tag in the post on your front page then you may have a technical problem. If this is the case you will need staff help. You can use this link during support hours (9-5 PM on weekdays) http://wordpress.com/contact-support/

Could we have links to the blogs, or at least know which themes you are using and which the tag is not working on? I don't know if any themes do not support the more tag or not.

I'm using WordPress free blogs, as a change from typepad and I was wondering if I am being incredibly thick here. I can't find an obvious way for a new post to display, say, the first paragraph, then have a "click to read the rest" style link that displays the full post...

Can I not do this ?

Thanks.
