Your best bet might be to create a new post each time you do a podcast, but assign a unique tag or category like "podcast" to it; that way if someone clicks on "podcast" in your sidebar, they'll get all your posts and podcasts. Or otherwise create a separate blog for the podcasts and link to it in your sidebar so people can find it. Hope that helps.

Thanks Mark Taylor PhD.

I wish I could make the posts appear across three columns (as the Pages do).

I just want 1 sidebar with the categories, links and meta all on one side.

Anyway, thanks for looking, VP.

I had hoped to be able to use it repeatedly within a single post.

I have a list of summaries of research articles, and was hoping to put a "More" button after each Author & Title in the alphabetical list.

Anyway, it's already an improvement. If you get a minute, check if I'm using it to its best advantage.

But thanks, in any case.

Write your whole post, then place the cursor where you want the break then click that button.

I don't think Matt's advice on 2-27-06 "in the WYSIWYG there is a "more" button. When you use this your post will be broken in two on the front page" accurately describes how this feature works.

If you get a minute for a little more hand-holding, can you explain pretty clearly how you do it?

Btw, I converted all my static Pages into Posts which simplified the blog a little, & got rid of the sixteen Page buttons at the top. Still working out a few things.

Thanks in advance, if you can help.

Also makes the visitor click through to read the article. That drives up page views. :)

I had no idea it did this. Good to know :)

why would u want to summarise a page?

Not that I'm accusing anyone of that of course.

Andreas's theme is my favorite (the look & partly just 'cause all the pages are listed at the top of the screen). But it's not a theme that allows posting on multiple pages.

I understand that the "More" buttons are for indicating large numbers of posts that occur in a more or less manageable space.

My ideal (1 day on Bluehost) is 12 or so pages where content can go in as a post and hence the More buttons.

Will study the posts vs. pages discussion this weekend. I think my own and others' failure to use Categories, and the desire to post on many pages is characteristic of someone who wants to design a website with fixed content, rather than a constantly evolving blog.

Hi Vivian,

That's a fine site. And I like the way your "more..." button works -- like an internal link on the page.

Thanks!

Where-oh-where can I read a clear explanation on HOW to use this feature.
1) does it only work in posts, but not on pages?
2) is there a particular place in the documentation that spells out how to use it?

HOW to use the feature is up to you. The way I use it is to not take up the full front page of my blog with the entire post. (You can see that some of my posts are quite lengthy.) I put the intro in the first paragraph and then use the more separator, which leads the reader to the full article.

I should mention that I use the Rich Editor most of the time (I'm a newbie at coding and only know the basics). ON the tool bar, there is a graphic that looks like two white boxes with a dashed line in between them. That inserts the more separator.

As for the question of posts versus pages - there are a number of posts here in the forum about that. I don't think the more separator works with pages as it is designed to work on posts. (I'm really having difficulty understanding why folks want separate pages for everything. Heck, that's what categories are for!)

Hope that helps.

why would u want to summarise a page? ppl usually summarise posts because there are more than one post in the home page and it would be really long without the summary. have u tried searching abt it through the search box or the faq?

I hope you'll glance back here and throw me something.

Thanks so much ! Pablo

Is that correct?

Sowewhere, there should be a choice between Full Text and Summary. I tried, but i'm not sure how long the blog will show an article as "summary". To me, it didn't really look like a summary. It never summarized MY articles...
