I know about the break thing in Blogger, but my question is...this only breaks the post ON the blog...you click the link to get there... and it takes you to the blog page with the short portion of the post and you click to "read more" and it takes you to the full post. However...my problem is...when I publish a post... the WHOLE post goes to the member in an email...they read the whole post in their email, enjoy it and then delete and move on. They don't actually go to my blog to read the post....or anything else! I was wondering if there is a way to truncate the post in the email, so the viewer reads the intro of the post and get interested and then go to my blog to read the rest... and hopefully more posts and other things i have on my blog. Is there a way to do that? Thanks for any help!<br />Cheri<br />fabricandmemories.blogspot.comCheri the Quilting Nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961524021921403281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-20399392503593707852013-09-16T14:30:19.692-04:002013-09-16T14:30:19.692-04:00Thank you for this tutorial.

If your connection is THAT slow, then you're probably used to it by now. ;) <br /><br />And, if someone complains about clicking through, chances are they've never had content stolen. It's just about as invasive and hurtful as if someone broke in to your car and stole something out of it (that is, maybe not quite as invasive and hurtful as breaking into your home, but still a violation).

Thanks for another great tutorial! I use google reader all the time and tried the 'next' bookmarklet that a few people mentioned. The problem for me with that is that it automatically marks them read and I sometimes like to leave some unread for some reason that I might need to go back to it. Can't figure out how to change that!<br /><br />Also, you wrote "when you preview you post you will not see the truncated version." But, then what is the point of previewing the post? How can we see what the post is going to look like before pressing publish, if it's truncated? Is there another way that I don't know about?Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713471729920822720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-28656972759663104562012-10-14T00:40:03.783-04:002012-10-14T00:40:03.783-04:00I am so sorry that there are people and computer p...I am so sorry that there are people and computer programs out there to ruin good and kind and creative people's efforts. I am just sick at the way what is so fun and creative (and time-consuming on your part) can be stolen. I'm sorry you have to truncate but I'll happily click as many times as I have to to read your great posts.
