Got travail 's story posted!


I'm Blog deficient, if you need to break up my Cerberus thing to manageable sizes, go ahead. Or heck, point me to a tutorial. Blogging is interesting.

Hi rabidbite there is no magic that can be done. Unfortunately there is no easy way to break up your story. To break it up you would need to copy and paste approx 5 chapters at a time into multiple new posts and spread it out that way.

The page break feature in Blogger only works once per post and it is mean to provide a smaller preview of an article from the home screen, it is not meant to create multiple pages in really long posts.

Serial fiction sites like BattleForce always publish by chapter installments.

Ideally that will be true going forward but to get the old content up that would be too laborious. Especially for Cerebus which is like 30 chapters long by now, give or take.

I have re-titled the thread to help make it clearly a topic about this blog.

dayan - I made some CSS changes and loaded in your images as the curtain backgrounds. Check it out and let me know if you want changes or want to modify the graphics now that you can see what I was talking about! The art won't show up on small screens as it was too jumbled.

Im well away from a big screen at the moment so Paxdad is probably a better judge right now. Thanks.

Will need to check later. Can't see it on my mobile browser.

Happy to take feedback, fix or remove the images! Also, they can be rotated easily as more art is produced, especially the art that goes along with the fan fiction people are writing!

Yeah. I'm being a lazy jerk. If I'm going to be serious about this blog, I got to get off my butt this weekend and start doing the posts by chapter.


(looks at Cerberus for a full minute)

On the other hand I might procrastinate a little more ....

rabidbite - it is reasonable to look at all future chapters as posts on the blog and not try to tackle the (rather large) historical issue.

[paxdad]

Agree, waste of time. If you want to shorten it do maybe 10 chapters at a time, or leave as is.
