How to insert a “Read More” break in Tumblr Text posts

reutemeteut:

In mijn huidige Theme zie ik geen ‘insert break’-button, maar als ik bij mijn Account Settings kies voor Berichten bewerken met: platte tekst/HTML, dan kan ik achteraf deze truc toepassen (& werkt ook in andere dan alleen tekst-posts):

Put <!— more —> where you want the break.
The break should be done like this:

(“Read More” vertaald zich vanwege mijn instellingen automatisch naar het Nederlandse “Lees verder”)

Read More

I don’t even know what language this is, which is awesome and/or sad. Reblogging a reblog of an old post is also awesome and/or sad.

I wish there was an iOS version of BBEdit. I also wish that I cared about sports at all, knew how to perform a few solid magic tricks, could believe in God, and had made better financial decisions when I was younger, among other things. I have digressed. Anyway, because there is no iOS version of BBEdit nor a comparable alternative for writing code that I am aware of, you have to dance with single-serving apps like usual to accomplish certain, specific things.

Naturally, I use my phone like a notebook computer; it sounds odd to call it a phone. And sometimes I like to tinker with web projects while I’m away from home. So I write the stuff in Notes (kept in sync, of course, via iCloud) and use this DiffNow web application to perform plain text comparisons. You might find it useful too.

Hi there, Hope you are doing well. What font does the BS theme use? Thanks! C

This is the default font stack: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif.

I tried the JavaScript thing, but it didn't work. Thanks for the tip anyway. I will probably edit the HTML later instead, when I have more time. Cheers!

Because you tried, here you go:

</style>

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

<style type="text/css">

body * {font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;}

Again, this is how to use Google Web Fonts without editing the HTML of your theme. (It should work with any Tumblr theme, not only the best ones.) You simply add that to your custom CSS. Obviously you’ll change the font to the one you want.

I hope this helps. And I’m glad you like BS. Your work makes it look good.

Hi! I have a question regarding your BS theme. I'd like to use a font from Google Web Fonts, but I don't see any way of doing that without editing the HTML. I read in an earlier answer that you would rather the users not edit the HTML. Would you consider adding a Google Web Fonts option to your theme? I would be ever grateful!

I appreciate the fact that you read some of the previous answers. I don’t mind if you edit the HTML for something like this. I mean, I can’t stop anyone from editing the HTML, but I get a lot of questions about my themes. So if someone wants help after messing up the HTML, I just delete the message. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

In fact you likely don’t have to edit the HTML anyway. You could probably just use this trick for Google Web Fonts. Let me know if this helps. We can share your experience with others.
