* __Ajax Read More__
|
-The "Ajax Read More" feature lets readers load up the second half "read more" section of a blog post into a page that displays several posts at once. Thus the user does not need to do a full page load just to read the rest of the story. The Permalink and Comments links are still present if the user desires to navigate to either of those. |

+*__Auto Display Primary Attachment__ |
++Blog posts can automatically display any attachment, typically an image, that is marked as the "Primary Attachment" during editing. This is especially useful for automatically inserting a photograph into a post. The first image you upload and attach to a blog post, during blog post editing, is the Primary Attachment. If you upload more images you can select which one is the Primary Attachment. the default templates will display a large version of your image at the top of your blog post, both on the "recent posts" view and on the post's page view. |
