Classic Blogger Expandable Post Summaries

Please bear with me while I get a little bit geeky on you here. I've spent my afternoon trying to figure out how to create a simple expandable post summary in non-Beta (old, classic) Blogger. It's easy enough to do if you don't mind having "Read more..." at the bottom of every post whether you need it or not. The tricky part is preventing "Read more..." when you just want to make a short post.

Finally I have met with success!!!

A full explanation of this simple Blogger hack is found here. It is very well written and documented. The solution worked for me the first time. Nicely done.
