How to Insert Read More Breaks on Tumblr

Tumblr is a social networking site that allows you to create a free blog about any topic that you choose. When you write a very long text article, you may wish to break up the text by inserting a Read More break. This allows readers to see a certain amount of content before they click the link to read the rest of the article. This helps to prevent long posts of text from cluttering up the front of your Tumblr site. It also allows visitors to navigate your posts more quickly and allows them to click to read the content that interests them most.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Tumblr account.

2. Click "Text" from the dashboard to create a new post.

3. Type the title of your post in the "Title" text box, and type the text that you would like to appear before the "Read More" break.

4. Click the "Insert "Read More" Break" icon from the editor toolbar. This is located on the right next to the "HTML" icon and looks like two white boxes with a dotted line between them. You will see a gray line with "Read More" printed above it appear under your text.

5. Type the rest of your article under the "Read More" break, then click "Create Post" to publish it. When you view your Tumblr page, you will see the Read More link that allows you to click to see the entire post.
