If you’ve got a blog on blogger I’ve just adapted some code to give you the option of hiding/revealing the longer texts of your posts so you can fit more posts onto your leader page without it becoming so long it cripples the page-loading time.
Whenever you start a new post - copy/paste the red code into it prior (from here, not the quote btw, otherwise you’ll get the colour codes I’ve used here to highlight the buttoncode) and follow the instructions in black.
If done correctly you’ll have a floating button like this:
below your post, and clicking on it will reveal the rest of your post, another click and it’ll hide it again. Nifty.
The button pgn is of my own making, but you can display anything you like if you’re good with images. All you have to do is put the pic on the web somewhere and type it’s address into this place in the below post script:
Interesting. Is there a use for this? The only thing I can think of is gimmicky riddle threads and risqué pictures. Not that pictures like that don’t get posted.
It’s useful when you have large sections or quotes that you don’t want to inherently take up the volume of the page, but want people to have access to by a simple revealing click.
Back when I frequented dumpshock.com for shadowrun rpg discussions years ago, it was incredibly popular for many purposes that were based in shrinking up the inherited size of the post.
For instance, if you had a citation, or if you had a side tangent that was worth mentioning, but not focusing on.
