I wish I knew how to fix it while still keeping that function on the blog itself. I set the RSS to full, but for some reason it is still showing the read more in the feeds as well.

Short posts can easily be displayed, but you can add the "Read More" for long posts, like your earnings updates. Also, can you change the RSS feed to display the full post? I really liked that about your previous setup. Glad to see you added your pic back to the site! Keep it real! Thanks! Amy,

That way people can quickly scan for what they want to read. :) I have the “read more” so I can have 20 posts on one page. otherwise the page would be a mile long.

It allows people to subscribe to the comments of each post and I love it! Also, can you please change your blog to where it shows the whole posts instead of having click on "Read More" to view the entire post? Otherwise, it looks great and I'm really happy for you!

I wanted to ask you and everyone else how they felt about switching. I originally came from wordpress.org because of all of the problems. Blogger have very few templates compared to wordpress. I am thinking about switching I just do not want to go through the aggravation of doing it again. You keep going at this pace you will be right there with John Chow and Shoemoney! Amy,

This looks FABULOUS! Coming up in the world. LOL. Hey, I have TONS of plugins. You need the backup data, dashboard editor, various widgets, SEO pack, feedburner, page order, spam karma (I've never had ANY spam), video quicktags, and WYSIwordpress to name just a few. If any of these sound yummy enough, just yell. I have all them and can send. Loving the new look. Robin Amy! This looks FABULOUS! Coming up in the world. LOL. Hey, I have TONS of plugins.

WordPress beats the pants off of blogger. I posted small list of plugins I use and love at my blog. I won't post the link here because I'm not sure how your spam filter is configured, although I'll probably end up there anyway, as I normally do :) Hopefully you fish me out. Very smart move Amy!
