How to put the "Read More" in a blog by Blogger.
How can I increase the amount of the visited pages in my blog?
This is a real problem for a blogger. The accuracy of a visit is very important to have success with a blog.
Surely in order to increase the number of visited pages (impressions)the best work is: improve your post! But..
There is an effective way to double rapidly the "impressions" parameter: the "READ MORE" option.
This is surely a popular strategy that lots of people ask about. I've talked about strategies to improve a blog also here.."Improve your blog!"
The results:
- double your visited pages;
- stimulate curiosity in your readers.
In this post we will explain every step in order to hack your blog template and apply this useful method.
With this hack, you choose (writing your post) to show a determinate part of text from the beginning of your post instead of showing the full post on the home page of your blog. This way, when your reader wants to read the rest of the post, must click on the “read more” link to see the complete post.
FIRST. "Update the code of your template"...
Find your template code.
Go to: "Customize" > "Layout" > "Edit Html".
Download template!!
This will preserve you in case of errors. Once you have saved your code, you can proceed with the updating.
Find the line: "post-header-line-1". Mind its position.
Find the line: "data:post.body". Mind its position.
Add the following code right of "post-header-line-1":
You should obtain something like this:
Now add the following code right after "data:post.body":
You should obtain something like this:
Very well! Now your template it's OK! Save your changes. If occurs some error you have a mistake! In this case re-check the instructions.
SECOND. Make a "post template".
Go to: "Customize" > "Settings" > "Formatting" > "Post Template".
Paste in the following code:
Now save your template.
THIRD. "Create a new Post".
Remind this: The text written before the first line of the post template will be showed;
the text written between the two lines will be show only after the click on "Read More".
All it's done. Enjoy your new strategy.
If you don't want to use the read more for a post you should only delete the lines of the post template for your post.
