    summary_noimg = 400;
    summary_img = 300;
    img_thumb_height = &quot;&quot;;

    function removeHtmlTag(strx,chop){
    if(strx.indexOf("<")!=-1)
    {
    var s = strx.split("<");
    for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){
    if(s[i].indexOf(">")!=-1){
    s[i] = s[i].substring(s[i].indexOf(">")+1,s[i].length);
    }
    }
    strx = s.join("");
    }
    chop = (chop < strx.length-1) ? chop : strx.length-2;
    while(strx.charAt(chop-1)!=' ' && strx.indexOf(' ',chop)!=-1) chop++;
    strx = strx.substring(0,chop-1);
    return strx+'';
    }

    function createSummaryAndThumb(pID){
    var div = document.getElementById(pID);
    var imgtag = "";
    var img = div.getElementsByTagName("img");
    var summ = summary_noimg;
    if(img.length>=1) {
    imgtag = '<span style="float:left; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><div class="crop-containr"><div class="crop"><img src="'+img[0].src+'" width="'+img_thumb_width+'px" height="'+img_thumb_height+'px"/></div></div></span>';
    summ = summary_img;
    }

    var summary = imgtag + '<div>' + removeHtmlTag(div.innerHTML,summ)+ '...' + '</div>';
    div.innerHTML = summary;
    }
    //]]>
    </script>

<!-- START Auto READMORE -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<div expr:id='"summary" + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb("summary<data:post.id/>");</script>
<span class='rmlink' style='float:right; margin-top:20px; display:inline'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url' style='padding:5px; background-color:#eee;-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px; border-top-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;'>Read More</a>
</span>
</b:if>
</b:if>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> 
<data:post.body/>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'>
<data:post.body/>
</b:if>
<!-- END Auto READMORE -->
