Writing a long post and wish the whole thing didn't show up on your blog's homepage? Just use a page break!

Page breaks are simple ways to show only the first portion of your post. This way your homepage stays clean, and your readers can click in to see more. You can even customize the "read more" sentence that people click on.

This is a page break in action, click to learn how to create your own!

One of the best parts of working at OnSugar is getting to read all the posts everyone is creating. Okay, so I’m not actually reading all of them -- there’s far too many and I’d get absolutely nothing done if I did! -- but I do see a lot of interesting things each day.

Starting this week I thought I'd share some of my favorite OnSugar posts with you. Here's what you had to offer this week:

New Feature: Share Your Comments on Facebook

Wed, 10/28/2009 - 11:33AM by sabs 1 Comment - 228 Views

Last week our OnSugar developers rolled out another way to integrate your OnSugar activity with your Facebook account. You can already update your status when you post a new story, but now you can update your status when you leave a comment too! To do so, just check the "Post this comment to my Facebook feed" box right below the comment box. When you click post, it will post your comment and automatically update your Facebook status. Now all of your Facebook pals can see what you have to say.

Note: This feature is only available on blogs with unmapped domains (domains that still contain onsugar.com in their url).


New Themes Created By You

While we've been working on adding new features to OnSugar, some of you have been working on making it look better.

Over the past few weeks several members have created hot new themes for the rest of you to use. Some of these are original works of art, while others are ports of popular themes from other places. From strange little pink towns to clean simple green designs, there's a fun new theme for everyone. Heck, OnSugar member persiancat has even offered you a Twilight-inspired theme! And if you like what you see, he's even created a site you can follow to find out when he makes more!
