While it appears harmless, there are several issues with this: Learn More, Read More, and Click Here links are commonly placed after a short paragraph (or just the title) that introduces the content, service, or feature. This design capability is necessary, and we are discussing the link content only, and not the general idea of summarizing content and deferring visitors to additional pages. One of these methods is known as the More Tag. WordPress comes with two built-in methods that allows you to do that. Instead of making all the details available by default, headings and short paragraphs provide an easy-to-scan, digestible overview of essential content.Īfter tapping the link the user can expand the content or visit the page with the complete article. Learn More or Read More allows you to show a summary of your article on your homepage, or blog page, with a read more link, MoreTag or excerpt text. It also helps with deferring content for mobile-optimized sites trying to structure content in small digestible chunks. The learn more link is primarily in existence because of the proliferation of the practice on blogs for deferring secondary content from the primary feed. In other words, people have a lot to say on this subject.
