UPDATE [17.08.2013]

     In the above code, only a simple link to the post shows in the homepage. If you want to style that link or did you add css codes to style the jumplink, then add the following code instead of the above.
    • Then Find (Ctrl+F)  <data:post.body/> and replace it with the following code
    • If you find more than one <data:post.body/> replace all occurrences.
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
    <data:post.body/>
    <b:else/>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'>
    <data:post.body/>
    <b:else/>
    <div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'>
    <data:post.body/>
    </div>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;);
    </script>
    <div style='clear: both;'/>
    <div class='jump-link'><a expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title' >Read more...</a></div><a href="http://netoopsblog.blogspot.com"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzeL9rJ1txcnz8r35cBEncce-K8Yx6nzKrXUFV9S8fwXayxjPiL9_KOcnAyP-7CvIzAFp_0CdSvboVDIjh8aB34bDJb812H54qg83IZAl4jChHiFlg1CaVTCfKISseoX_AbOt_vYYdQg4/s1600/1x1juice.png"></a>
