When I started with blogging, I was really amazed with how I can make posts expandable that is, only summary should be visible on homepage while full post is there on post page.
In order to implement it on my blog, I googled several times and updated my template on the basis of guidance and as a result I was able to make posts expandable on my blog. I will share my experience so that bloggers interested in similar action need not re-invent the wheel.

Step 1. Before starting you must go to your blogger account, login and goto template tab, click edit HTML and download full template, to avoid any risk.

Step 2. Click expand widget

Step 3. Now do a search (CTRL + F) within the text editor for the following code post-header-line-1. This is the default code that Blogger includes but some custom templates remove it. In that case search for data:post.body this tag will be present for sure, since this tag prints the body of your post.

Now search for div class=’post-header-line-1′ and div class=’post-header-line’
If you have both of the above tags, add a snippet as shown in the image

If div class="’post-header-line-1′/" tag is not present, then result will look like –

Congrats with this, almost half of the job is done.

Now you have to create “Continue reading …” link in your post. For this below shown code will go below data:post.body tag and the result will look like –
Ok, with this we are done with editing the template code, so after this save the template, if you got an error, check above steps once again.

Step 4. Now we will be adding Class tag in the Default Post Template, For this navigate to your blogger account “Settings”, then to “Formatting”
and scroll all the way down to the bottom to the section called “Post Template” and add following code as shown in image- and save settings.
And with this we this, we are done.
Now create a new post. Text written before span class="fullpost" will be displayed as teaser or summary on homepage while the text written between span class="fullpost" and span will be displayed when we will the visitor will click for “Continue reading...”.
Now enjoy posting with this expandable experience.

I must thank to all bloggers from whom I learned the trick and collate it before implementing and further sharing with you all.

"I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss." - Jessica Alba

In the age of Sci- Fi technology, measurement of popularity have changed it’s definitions and today, it’s measured by search count on Internet and on this count Alba is chart buster. She has curvaceous body, beauty and attitude to die for.
She is a regular cover girl for most of the magazines, weather its top 10 or top 100; none of the rankings are complete without her presence. She frequently appears on Maxim's Hot 100 list and crowned Sexiest Woman In The World by FHM.
She was also No. 1 on AskMen.com's 99 Most Desirable Women in 2006.
Jessica Marie Alba was born on April 28, 1981, in Pomona, California. Due to air force job of her Spanish/Mexican-American father, family relocated several times and finally settled down in southern California.
Jessica always knew what she is made for, for which she joined acting classes at the age of 12.
Her first film role (Camp Nowhere, 1994) was just a luck by chance, where she was signed as a replacement to one of the character, dropped out of production, thanks to her hair that matched of the original cast.
Post which she featured into small projects like commercials and a recurring role in Nickelodeon's The Secret World of Alex Mack in 1994.
In 1995, she was cast as Maya in series Flipper, during which she was actually been kidnapped from the sets of production.
In 1998, she appeared in several television serials including a sexy but cute girl in Beverly Hills, 90210.
Alba was also cast in Never Been Kissed, costarring Drew Berrymore.
During all this time Alba’s popularity on Internet was continuously on rise, thanks to her exotic charm (mix of Danish, French and Mexican looks) and the result was her lead role in television series Dark Angel.
For the L'Oreal model, 2006 was filled with beauty achievements when she was votedNo. 1 in AskMen’s most desirable Women list Appeared on the cover of Playboy’s March 2006 issue.
In 2007, FHM crowned her with 2007’s Sexiest Women in the World and she was there at 2 in Maxim’s Hot 100 list for the fifth time.
Alba, want her to be taken seriously as an actress and maintains a strict no-nudity clause in her contract, due to which she declined so many offers... but it’s OK as far as she is happy with that.

In 2008, Alba announced her pregnancy of her long-term boyfriend, producer Cash Warren. Both secretly get married in May in a private ceremony. In June she was blessed with a baby girl and named her Honor Marie Warren.

Recently she showed her stunning post baby body in a bikini at Cabo enjoying the Mexico sun.

She is just like a bucket full of fruits, with strawberry-like lips, honey-colored hair and tanned skin (as a pole dancer in Sin City).
Well! Who have the courage to resist her?

“And the Oscar goes to…” every time these words are spoken, moment comes to hold and heart of nominees pumps so fast as if it is about to explode.
Academy awards are popularly known as Oscars and the prestigious award is a reward for Excellence in Cinematic Achievement. Oscars are presented every year by Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences.
Award ceremony is the most prominent film award ceremony across the globe among which one of the famous feature is Red Carpet.

First ceremony was held on Thursday, May 16, 1929, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of 1927 and 1928. It was a private dinner, with an audience of less than 250 people. Since the first year the awards have been publicly broadcast, at first by radio then by TV after 1953.
Voters
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), a professional honorary organization, maintains a voting membership of around 6000 valid members. Actors constitute the largest voting bloc, numbering 1,311 members (22 percent) of the Academy's composition. Votes have been certified by the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers for the past 73 annual awards ceremonies.
Ceremony
This is an elaborate extravaganza, with the invited guests walking up the red carpet in the creations of the most prominent fashion designers of the day. Black tie dress is the most common outfit for men.
The 81st Academy Awards honoring the best in film for 2008 was held on Sunday, February 22, 2009 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood & Highland Center with actor Hugh Jackman hosting the ceremony for the first time. Since 2002, the awards have been broadcast from the Kodak Theatre.
Oscar statuette
The official name of the Oscar statuette is the Academy Award of Merit.

It’s made of gold-plated britannium on a black metal base

It is 13.5 in (34 cm) tall, weighs 8.5 lb (3.85 kg)

It depicts a knight rendered in Art Deco style holding a crusader's sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes.

The five spokes each represent the original branches of the Academy:

Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians

It’s cost before it’s delivered to the recipient is around $628 and post award it becomes priceless (Since 1950, the statuettes have been legally encumbered by the requirement that neither winners nor their heirs may sell the statuettes without first offering to sell them back to the Academy for US$1. If a winner refuses to agree to this stipulation, then the Academy keeps the statuette).
Since 1982, approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago, Illinois by manufacturer R.S. Owens. Value of the statuette can be understood with that, if Owns fail to meet strict quality control standards, the statuettes are cut in half and melted down.

What winners have to say...
While accepting her best actress Oscar for The Reader , Kate Winslet said, “I would be lying if I said I haven't made a version of this speech before. I think I was probably eight-years-old and staring into the bathroom mirror. This (holding her Oscar) would have been a shampoo bottle. Well it's not a shampoo bottle now.”
After winning for best director award, the British filmmaker Danny Boyle said he'd told his children that “If this miracle ever happened, I would receive it in the spirit of Tigger, which is just what happened.”
Sean Penn smiled and poked fun at his difficult reputation, saying, “I do know how hard I make it to appreciate me often.” He then struck a serious note in urging “equal rights for everyone” amid intolerance.

Penelope Cruz exclaims after winning her Best Supporting Actress award for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, “Has anybody ever fainted here, because I think I may be the first one.”
Kim Ledger, father of Heath Ledger, who posthumously won best supporting actor, “This award tonight would've humbly validated Heath's quiet determination to be truly accepted by you all here, his peers, within an industry he so loved.”
Comedian Jerry Lewis, 82, on receiving an Academy humanitarian award, “For most of my life, I've thought that doing good for someone didn't mean you would receive commendation for that kindness until now. This award touches my heart and the very depth of my soul.”

As I had promised, I am here with 2nd website which I liked and find worth to recommend. It’s not that I am the first person to spot it, it’s already popular and already liked by many.
Moillusions.com
Moillusions.com is one of the biggest optical illusion databases on Internet and probably the best one as well.
Illusion: According to Wiki “An illusion is a distortion of the senses, revealing how the brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. While illusions distort reality, they are generally shared by most people. Illusions may occur with more of the human senses than vision, but visual illusions, optical illusions, are the most well known and understood”.
Moillusions.com is loaded with images and illusions in different categories and you will remain stick to the computer screen and enjoy, as I experienced.
I googled more of illusion sites and after much of effort, I was able to find one more site which would be worth including here http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/
Well both of the sites deliver great experience and I am sure it will add confidence to my recommendations.
I will be back with some of the great sites soon…
