It is becoming increasingly popular on the internet today to divide long articles into multiple pages. Separating articles into multiple pages can increase the readability of the article on the crucial first glance, making it more likely for your article to be read. A user who sees a page that goes on forever may simply not bother and move on. As long as multi-page posts are used sparingly and with the right amount of content on each page, it can be an effective way to break up content for many of your visitors (although some will still hate multi-page posts with a passion).

Check out a recent article from our YourPokerCash property where we, I think, do a great job of putting this concept into practice.

We thought this article was too large for a single post, but a good opportunity for a multi-page post. Even with the post broken up into headings and other tricks to increase readability, many users are simply not going to want to take on the task of reading such a large article. Break the article up into three pages and suddenly it seems like a less arduous process to undertake as a reader.

Through some simple code, PAS publishers are now able to create multiple page news and blog posts. Here's how...

1) Enter Top Page Token

At the top of each the pages you will need to enter the new liquid code:

{% page 1 %}

At the start of each new page, replace the "page x" with the page number of the article.

2) Enter Bottom Page Token

To end a page simply use this token at the location you would like to end each page (no page number is required):

{% endpage %}

3) Add the page links at the bottom of each page

At the end of each page (except the final) you are going to want to have a link to the next page. Typically this is done to the right hand side of the page, almost to give a bit of a "turning the page" type of feel. You can enter the following code at the end of the page but above the "endpage" token:

Next

Replace "xyz" with the page number you are linking to.


That's it! If you have a long post that you can't brake down through other methods, consider a multiple page post. They should be used sparingly, but if used in the right situations, they can be used with great effectiveness.
