-=== Create an Anouncements Category === 
- 
-Use Wordpress and create a category called '​announce',​ and populate it with a few posts. Test to see that the rss feed works. ​ 
- 
-If you're using some sort of nice URLS, it'll look like http://​www.yourblog.com/​feed/​announce 
- 
-If not, it may look more like http://​www.yourblog.com/?​feed=rss2&​category_name=announce 
- 
- 
- 
-=== PHP / DOM === 
- 
-Put this in **includes/​templates/​YOUR_TEMPLATE/​templates/​tpl_index_default.php** (we put it at the very bottom).

-if($post_text != strip_tags($post_encoded,​ '<​p><​a><​blockquote>'​)) 
-  { // add read more tag 
- 
-    $pre_cut = 499;
