June 27th, 2007 by david brothers | Tags: spoilerI’m thinking about dropping the More links on the blog, so that articles are just out there in the altogether, unless they need spoiler space or something. That can result in a wall of text, as you can see below. Thoughts? Good, bad, drop it, bring it back?
I need to work up some new headers, too.
You guys write some lengthy posts and if I miss a few days and swing by to catch up, that can be a whole lot of scrolling down. Depending on when I’m checking, I’m quite likely to not bother.
Show 2-3 paragraphs/post and “More” the rest, I say!

by rotorblade June 27th, 2007 at 13:14 --replyI never check this website, I only see updates when they appear in my lj feed. So, for me, having a truncated post saying that there is a new post I can look at is more helpful than taking up a third of my friends page for a single post.
by Jaarik June 27th, 2007 at 14:11 --replyUnfortunately, LJ doesn’t process the “more” tag via feeds.
by Guy LeCharles Gonzalez June 27th, 2007 at 14:44 --replyIt seems okay here.
Thanks for the input, y’all.
by david brothers June 27th, 2007 at 14:57 --replyYou want a new header? Venom. Steel Spider. New issue of Thunderbolts. That’s your header.

by david brothers June 27th, 2007 at 15:32 --reply@David: Hmmm, that’s weird. It doesn’t process the PCS “more” tag.
by Guy LeCharles Gonzalez June 27th, 2007 at 21:10 --replyIs PCS using a recent version of WordPress? I think that my copy of WP converts the bracketed more tag into a standard link when it publishes the post.
