WordPress.com Please give me

Update I missed this, but Donncha has already taken care of this request :)

For those new to WordPress, in versions 1.5.x and below a nice feature for creating teasers was available while posting.

It was called the <!—more—> tag.

I haven’t tried 1.6 but here at WordPress.com this doesn’t work. As a result I have long long posts on my index page when I could just have a small starter with the rest of the post on its seperate page.

When I don’t run the WYSIWYG editor (which I don’t like) I can enter <!—more—> using the quick tags, but unfortunately when I save the page, it is removed :(

This is a request to the folks at WordPress.com to add the functionality back again.

I hope other users who miss this will also join me in asking them for it :)
