Can someone help me? (nvm, question answered!)

I need some help.... I've done a 100 reviews already, and I don't know how to do a CUT OFF so that members see a preview of my review before they click to read the FULL review. 

Can someone tell me how to do that break? 

I should have figured this out myself, but I suck...  lol!

If I understand your question correctly, you want

to control where the preview window breaks. That's the question I'm going to answer, anyway LOL, so I hope it's what you want.

Once you're done typing your review, you click on "disable rich-text", which is in blue font below the window you typed your review in. Then you put "<!--break-->" without the quotes. From there you can submit it or preview it. Another way to do it is to select "preview" first so you can see where it's breaking on its own. The "break" command is reminded at the top of the screen, so sometimes I copy and paste from there but the key thing is to disable the rich text.

Good luck! And congrats on the 100 (or so) reviews!

Thanks for answering...  I tried it....  but it didn't work.  :( 

Do you have to wrap the code around the paragraph you want broken/previewed?   Like putting <!--break--> TEXT </!--break--> 

Or should it be:  <break> TEXT </break> 

Or: <--break--> TEXT </--break--> 

I fiddled with it and it still didn't show up as a broken paragraph.  I apparently suck at this.... 

Never mind!  I got it

Never mind! 

I got it now!  I was making it harder than it really was.... the tag doesn't need to have two parts.... 

It works!

Well, re-reading what I wrote, sigh

I wasn't exactly clear. I gave you the command but did I tell you what to do with it?LOL NOOOO! Yes, put just the "break" command where you want the break to be.

If you go to KatherineT's blog, you'll see lots of helpful hints (she's part of the Quiet Canadians so a quick way to find her -- besides the search engine -- would be to click on "The Quiet Canadians" over in the "tags" cloud and then click on her blue name in one of her reviews). If you click on the "more" button under "my recent blog posts" on her page, you'll actually get all of her blog entries and book reviews back to when this new site launched in January. I'd go all the way back to her first few pages -- which in the computer's logic would be "last". She helped a lot of us learn that "break" command and how to add pics to our reviews and so on.

Sorry about the confusion on the "break" command. Glad you kept trying,

Actually Jayne...  the 115

Posted on May 4th, 2008, 2:30am by Janet85

Actually Jayne...  the 115 books I have so far are JUST my April books.  *blush* 

If the counter went up today, that wasn't me, I've only read four books today (and blogged about 'em). 

I haven't yet added my 150 or so January/February/March books...  but I'll try to add them tonight.  Then you'll see a jump ....  sorry in advance for that! 

ETA: ok, I just spent three hours catching up on my backlog....  now you can blame me for the 60 odd book jump...  and pooey...  I still have almost 100 more books to go.  I'm taking a break.  I'll do the next bunch another day.
