META: Ask, And Ye Shall Receive...Maybe

Some of my faithful readers recently commented to me that my posts were so long that it was difficult for readers to scan through to find particular posts of interest. For some time, I have been wanting to enable "jump" capability to cut down on the lengthy posts taking up so much space on the main page.

After much frustration and testing, I'm proud to announce this new functionality on DHMBIB.

Enabling this functionality was much more difficult than it should have been. Blogger was not very helpful, unfortunately, as their HowTo article works only for the old version of Blogger, and not the "new" version I'm using.

After much searching, I found some very helpful instructions on how to enable the "jump" functionality on Ramani's Hackosphere blog. These instructions worked like a champ! Thanks, Ramani!

I'll be re-editing some of my older posts -- this hack requires code in each post, as well as in the site template -- to enable this functionality in those posts, to make the site more readable.

Of course, I'm open to feedback from my readers. Please let me know your thoughts.
