Eastcoastlife, if you log into Blogger and click on the Help Centre, just type in this: "How can I create expandable post summaries?" and there's an article explaining how to use excerpts. Hope you find it helpful. Mikes last blog post..<a href="http://www.startingoverinsouthafrica.com/2008/07/sparknotes.html" rel="nofollow">SparkNotes</a> Hi Sailor,
