 * We are unable to apply the function for “extended posts.” Can someone advise 
   how to fix it? Thanks! [http://www.beenthereclearinghouse.com](http://www.beenthereclearinghouse.com)
 * We would really appreciate your advice on how to fix this.

   help.

 * sorry. Here is more of an explaination: our posts are rather long and we would
   like to place most of the post in an “extended post” where the reader can click
   if they want to read more and the text doesn’t take up tons of space. How do 
   we do that? We can’t seem to find that function. (We are new to wp, obviously.)
   Thanks!

 * Isn’t there a “more” quicktag in your admin panel right above the text area? 
   Just click and put it where you want to break the text.

 * Thank you, I just tried clicking on the “more” button and placing the line in
   the text where I wanted an “extension” and all it did was add a few lines of 
   white space to the paragraph, but not a “more” button or “if you want to read
   more click here” type of thing. Any further tips and what am I doing wrong? Thank
   you!!!!!!!!!!

 * Clicking the “more” button above the text input area it should insert the following
   where your cursor is:
    `<!--more-->` Try to type it manually, it should work,
   too. And if your quicktag button doesn’t insert the code above… you should try
   to upload again the quicktags.js file into your wp-admin folder.

 * Thank you, it worked! The only thing is, once I did it, all the text in every
   single post after the one I did the “more” thing with got larger, meaning the
   font size increased. huh? anyone have an idea of why?

 * No, no, no, no, no. That’s not the way it works.
 * You type the text you want to have displayed initialy. Then you enter <!–more–
   > and then type the rest.
 * You only put the more tag in once.

 * You should talk to the guys at wordpress.com. This is wordpress.org.

 * As far as I know they use a modified version of WordPress MU [http://mu.wordpress.org/](http://mu.wordpress.org/)
   
   Normally the solutions posted above should help (for a plain WP). Not using WP
   MU – we don’t know what to say.

 * Fair enough, just seemed like you were just shrugging me off 😛 I’ll look around
   and try to figure it out…
