Using the "extended entry" function
Whenever you create a long post, put the first paragraph in "entry body" and the rest in "extended entry." That way, people can browse the site easily, scrolling down from one post to the next without too much paging down; but they'll also be able to read your entire post. When you put all but the introduction of your post in "extended entry," the site will display only the first part but then offer a link saying "continue reading." As a demonstration, I've done this with the post "Epistemology, Methodology, and Method in Ethnography." (Scroll down to see it; it's a January 21 entry.) Originally it was one long entry that took up two screens. So I clipped the larger portion of it and put it in "extended entry." Now the first paragraph only appears, and then there's a link that says "Continue reading "Epistemology, Methodology, and Method in Ethnography."
