You might have noticed "zero" time visited. I read that this is a false signal; that you only get a time estimate if the visitor clicks something else... Read More might help this. (just a weakly informed hunch).<BR/><BR/>3) I like graphics. I usually try to add one at the top of a post. The Read More allows eye candy lovers to more easily get their fix.<BR/><BR/>4) I've started to try to figure this out, and like an itch, I need to figure it out! Then I can always revert to NOT having the "Read Me" element in my page ;-p<BR/><BR/>Oops! I Better go vote.GDAEmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348919163462907583noreply@blogger.com
