Some blog entries are long - like, really really long. As a result, it takes a really really long time for your homepage to load - plus, people who haven't read your blog in a few days might miss your other recent posts waaaay down below on your screen.

Fix this by adding the 'more' option to your entries. The 'read more' option takes visitors into the individual entry page of Go to your long entry by clicking on 'manage' and then 'edit'.

Find the place where you want the page to 'break' - usually after a few paragraphs.

One of the buttons on top of your entry screen reads 'more' OR has an image of a piece of paper being split in two. Press it and some coding will show up on your entry.

Save and look at your entry. You will now see 'Read the rest of this entry »' guiding readings to the rest of your update

I've been wondering if there's any way to fine tune this feature a bit more.

Two cases:
1- is there anyway to have a picture that will appear at the top of the entry page but not appear on the main page?
2- less importantly, since it's easy to do manually, is there a way to automatically make it so the most recent entry displays in its entirety, but will automatically get cut off a bit once there's a new entry?

Hi Neil,

At the moment the answer is, unfortunately, no to both your questions. As we spend more time on developing features for the travel blogs we'll certainly keep these in mind. The second one is easier to accomplish than the first.
