I’m with Frank and James in disliking have to continually hit more buttons to see it all … Frank’s last suggestion is the very least 17dots could do, because it’s especially annoying not to be able to go from one full post to the next …

The problem I have is that if I fall behind on posts and go to the web site to catch up, there’s no easy way to read all the posts in the archives. (There’s the list of recent posts in the right hand navigation bar, but that only goes so far.)

Note that one possible workaround to make things easier would be to include links at the top of each post to the previous and next posts in time. (This is what Bob Lefsetz does on his posts.) Then you could start at the most recent post and go back in time reading every post in sequence with a single click.

Any posts with a more link will be truncated up to that link when the feed is generated. The only option is not using ‘more’ and having posts display full length on the blog.
