I’m trying a different approach to my longer posts: I’m posting the introduction to these longer posts up front but then continuing the post "after the jump," as they say. All you  need to do to read the rest of the post is click on the "continue reading" link at the bottom of the introduction.

I thought I’d do this to save a little space on my pages, and to save you the pain of finding the end of my long posts so you can read the next one in line. Also, if the introduction doesn’t pique your interest, you can just move on (but I hope you won’t!) rather than read the rest of the post.

I’d really like know what you think; if you like it, or would rather have the whole post on the front page.

UPDATE: I’m working on getting my feedburner, and various feeds, to publish full posts rather than a quick summary — huge apologies to all my subscribers out there [all 3 of you! 😉 ]; I didn’t realize I had Feedburner only posting 200 characters. What the…??? — I’ve changed feedburner already (Typepad was already set to feed full posts), but I don’t know how long it takes for it to cycle through all the feeds. I know Bloglines now gets full posts but so far I haven’t been able to get GR to follow suit. So let me know if you use Google Reader and can read this entire post. Thanks! (and special thanks to Joe Kennedy for buying me a clue!)
