I was surfing DIGG the yesterday day and I ran across something Ive always seen that I use to hate. It was a list post where they put each individual item on the list on its own page. (Here’s the post that I’m talking about). I say I use to hate it because now I kindof prefer it. When you have a post that contains a long list of items, sometimes its a little annoying to scroll down to read the whole post.

When you have it separated to pages, you can just read and click next.

Ive tried to do a post like that several times (here’s an example) but what I ended up doing is creating a separate post for each page I wanted to add, and putting links to all the post at the end of each individual page.

I didn’t know this, but Wordpress has that functionality built in, and Im not talking about the

command that separates a summary from the fill blogpost. I’m talking about a full multipage blog post function.

What you need to do is add this command

where you want the page in your post to end (in html or code view) and it will automatically break your post into several pages (where ever you put the “next” tag is where the page will end).

Easy enough, and I used it on an upcoming post over at Jonzee.com.

Once you use that code, what you will end up with is one blog post and a list of page numbers at the bottom for the amount of pages you have in that post. Readers can then read the post, then click to go to the next page (or item) in your post.

I might be the last person to find out about this, but I figure Id share this with you in case you were wondering about the same thing. For more information about this you can check out the Wordpress help page on the subject
