Expandable Posts

As we develop our ideas further and get ever more detailed about our passions and pursuits, our posts too reflect this. Therefore I've created expandable posts so that the author may post a summary paragraph followed by a link to the larger post (this is best for our longer posts that take lots of time to scroll across). In order to do this every new post will have the following code built into the blank screen.

Place your summary post here.
span class="fullpost"
Place the rest of it here.
/span

Simply place your summary paragraph at the top of the code, and the rest between the lines span class="fullpost" & /span

A typical post should look something like this:

Harry Potter uses his mastery of of the universe to abolish all private property.
span class="fullpost"
While doing so, he faces massive threats to his life by elite capitalists and landowners who use their advantages to turn men into means for their own survival.
/span

Unfortunately a "Read More!" link must appear after every post regardless of whether or not it is long or short. If you wish to post a short piece and not use expandable posts then simply delete this code

Place your summary post here.
span class="fullpost"
Place the rest of it here.
/span

from the page and type or paste away. It is also unfortunate that Harry Potter did not do such a feat, yet... : )

p.s It would be helpful if you added a little "End of Post" or "Fin" or "No mas" at the end of posts that do not expand.

p.p.s Don't forget to label your posts!

I think everyone reading this and writing/posting here is doing something great for ourselves and others. I want to thank you all for doing what you do and hope that we can continue to progress. Let's keep this movement moving.
That's all folks.
