To Use The EXTENDED tab is a virtue


TIP: If you're going to write really long posts, put the first couple paragraphs in body, then click the Extended tab right above the text box and put the rest of your text there. This will create a "Read More" link, so people can click through to read the whole post. Then you're not clogging up the whole Reader Blog page.

I like this feature. It's a drag to scroll through long posts on topics that you're not interested in. Thanks for that, TPM!

excellent feature!

Posts like this will surely speed acceptance. One side note, once on the Blog Now interface, all the links get you stuck in MovableType land. There is no easy way to get back to the main TPM site.

Got it. Thanks.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Having login weirdness, with the toolbar not showing the menu items, such as my name, or dashboard etc. Those show in the brief moment after I have chosen to go elsewhere.

Also, It's not clear whether I am logged in at all, with comment box asking for name and email.

Is this a cookie or security issue?

I don't see a direct link from tpmcafe to get into my account toolbar. Did I miss it?

Comments/questions so far:

1. No direct link from tpmcafe homepage to myblog.
Could one be installed?

2. Should we expect a time lag in between submitting a comment and having the comment show up in the "comments" tab of "myblog"? The earlier one I submitted in this thread has not yet appeared.

3. When, from the mother ship homepage, I go to "my dashboard", I get a message saying the account hasn't been located or set up yet. How do I fix that?

1. In the beige nav bar at the top of the page there is a YOUR BLOG link -- you can get to your blog from this link from anywhere on the site

2. There is a slight delay while this page republishes

3. We're working to get the dashboard up shortly
