Keyboard that was absolutely anatomic and of a acceptable superior that
it could be acclimated accustomed by a blow typist. In adjustment to
accomplish this I chose a top superior keyboard as my starting point. This is an IBM Model M “Colicky” keyboard.

Yeah – I guess it's the RSS thing – cos I never see links, just complete,
unabbreviated articles, with all your blood sweat and tears for all to see.
Hence the jump thing annoys me. I can see it is needed for people who see
partial articles and need encouraging to click and see the results of your
blood sweat and tears in full.

It's off my chest now, anyway.

Thanks

FWIW my viewing method is Google Reader gadget on my iGoogle page

For what it's worth, if “after the jump” appears in an article, it does always mean that there's a “more” link. And it does usually refer explicitly to what's coming next, 'cause I want you to click on and read the rest of the article that I put my blood, sweat, and tears into. Usually, articles are broken up this way if they include lots of text or several big pictures that would take up a disproportionate amount of space on the main page.

RSS readers are all a little different; when I use Google Reader, sometimes it truncates articles at “more” links and sometimes it pulls the whole thing. I dunno why.

Tell ya what, I'll try and change it up a little bit every once in a while, with phrases like “after the break” or “below the fold” or “click on, Macduff.”

Thanks for the reply, Evan

Mostly when I read Ohgizmo via RSS I rarely get the sense that there is a
link to something elsewhere – many, many times your “after the jump” seems
to refer *explicitly* to the next paragraph or the picture immediately below
that phrase

Apologies if I was misunderstanding your intended usage – but I do think it
IS overused and there may not always be a link (but I'm probably wrong)

Carry on – it won't stop me reading – just makes me mutter “what effing
jump?” under my breath. Life has its little burdens…

Well, sure, if it bothers you… It just means, “follow the link to see the rest of the post.” Jump refers to the fact that if you see this post on the main page, you only really see about 2/3 of it, make sense?
