Static Pages And The "Jump Break" Feature

Static pages (aka "Pages" in Blogger speak) are becoming more and more popular. Recently, they are getting attention from folks who like to publish large display pages in their blogs - and would like to index their large display pages using another popular feature, "Jump Break". We see questions about adding Jump Break to static pages.

Jump Break, the Blogger standard solution for auto summarising display pages, works based upon any given post being viewed in individual post mode, where the post is displayed in its entirety - or in an archive retrieval / label search / main page display, where the post is summarised. The summarised view of the post contains a link, to the individual post display, labeled as "Read More".

Static pages are displayed in one mode - as a single, static page. Static pages aren't combined with other static pages. Since a static page is viewed only one way, there's no way to link from a summarised static page to a full view static page. Thus, there is no way to summarise a static page.

Sorry, this is one limitation that can't be avoided.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
