I say it displayed because I can`t find the plugin anymore on the internet and that is the biggest problem. You need 5-10 plugins to make WP run in a similar way like Geeklog and that means you have to keep them updated etc.

We have several sales managers that want to set up a blog site where they can share stories about their interactions with customers, management techniques, etc. They seem to think that this will be easier than doing it via e-mail because there will be threads this way.

Thank you Herb, Julie, and Stanley for reading Smart Boy Designs. Happy you enjoyed the article.

Stanley – blackhat SEO is search engine optimization based on using dirty and illegal tricks to improve your rankings. Methods like hiding text in your background, etc…are all frowned upon.

Hi Michele,

If you want to show only teasers or small clippings of posts on your homepage, along with a “read the rest of this entry” link – it’s very easy to setup in WordPress.

After writing your post, you’ll notice a small button on your WordPress editor’s toolbar. It’s right next to the Spell check button. If you hover over it, it will say, “Insert More tag.”

Make sure your cursor is in the spot you’d like to “cut” your post into a teaser, and then click that button.

If you edit your posts via HTML in your WordPress post editor, the code to use is: (this is the command wordpress recognizes to make a teaser)

It’s as simple as that. Let me know if you have any other questions, or if this needs further explaining. Good luck – and thanks for reading!

Hi Smartboy. Your advice is very helpful to me. Question: I want to know how to obey your “don’t post never ending posts” rule and would like to use the “read the rest of this entry” link like you use. Quick tip on how to do this? (I’m fairly decent with html).

Thanks,
Michele
