Re: Show READMORE in Posts

Often I'll think twice about front-paging a large node because I'm concerned that the manifesto might not have a <readmore> tag.

If you see a node that you truly think is worthy of being on the front page, then front-page it and consider the node, asking for a readmore to be added. A crew of editors is standing by, happy to add the occasional <readmore> (or the more occassional <code> tag).

Well we get back into what's supposed to be "truly worthy". I don't front page nodes that often, I usually only do it if the post is above average or the problem really interesting. But I've seen many discussions around here saying that the The Monastery Gates should be representitive of what's going through the site and not just excellent posts. But your point is taken. Oddly enough, I felt a little deja-vu posting this and I guess this is why. -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."	[reply]

Another thought would be that you get a gentle reminder when previewing a large node to add readmore tags. Which if you are going to do that, well then you might as well check for sigils and remind them to add <CODE> tags. -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."	[reply]
