Expandable summaries/cuts

Let's say you're posting something long and you want to use a cut. You go to "create post" and then go to "edit html." there you should see (inside of the pointy brackets) the words "span class="fullpost" " and then the word "span" inside of the brackets and backslash that mean the end of an instruction in html. Whatever you want to show up as the excerpt on the main blog page goes in front of this extra stuff, and then the rest of the piece goes in between the first part and the /span tag - basically inbetween where the brackets go "><". If you write everything in "compose" there will be nothing in the cut. Also I've noticed some problems if you directly cut and paste from microsoft word because you'll see when you paste that there is a whole lot of extra stuff in there besides text. Sometimes blogger tells me there are unsupported commands. If this gives you a hard time when you're using a cut you can paste it into wordpad or somewhere first and then cut from there and paste into the blog; that gets rid of all the unsavory extras.
