2) Under “Edit Template“, tick “Expand Widget Templates“.

3) Find <data:post.body/>

4) Put this code on top of the <data:post.body/>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<style>.fullpost{display:inline;}</style>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<b:else/>
<style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style>

5) Put the second code below the <data:post.body/>.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'><br />
<a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more...</a>
</b:if>
