Hello all. I’m fairly new to EE. I was wanting to touch base with the community and see if there was any easy way to create a break in a post with expression engine. Simply put, I want to post a summary of a post, and an “after the jump” link to the full post.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Usually you would split the text up in multiple weblog fields, for example:
- Summary
- Body
- Extended
You would show the summary in a listing and the body & extended on the single entry page (or leave out the extended field and just use body).
I believe those are the default fields created when you first install EE 1.6.9.
Hope this cleared things up a bit.
Greetz,
Wouter

It all makes sense now. Thanks for the reply. I claim jet lag for not thinking of that!
