Replace Read More Text With Image in Blogger
Replace Read More Text With Image in Blogger
Few years back, Blogger platform users including myself are eagerly waiting for the highly needed Read More function ("Expandable Post Summaries" or the "Jump Break").
The Read More feature simply creates a snippet of your blog post and this function helps you increase the page views when your site visitor decides and became more interested in reading the full post.
You can manually insert the Read More function in simple blog templates while most Ad-ready magazine types templates or the premium templates uses the automatic script code for the Read More summary.
The automatic Read More script offers short summary intro with specific length. It can be modified but it will automatically affect the rest of post. A thumbnail will be included if the said post/article also includes an image file.
Aside from the common standard Read More text link, we can stylish it up by replacing it with an image to improved the appearance of your blog.
