I just stumbled upon this beautifully designed weblog. The collapsible sidebar headers just blow me away; very efficient and useful. I could see using a similar design for long posts where you want to give the intro and add a “more…” section in order to save space on the main page. I generally think this sort of division is good practice but have resisted doing it in my own blog because the clicking back and forth between the main page and the “more…” page is annoying. (It’s especially problematic in weblogs with lots of long posts, like mine.) If I could use a collapsible on-page toggle with DHTML layers instead of a hyperlink to a separate page for the “more…” section of a post, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Too bad I’m not a programmer.
Update: You can find the instructions for how to create the menu (at least for WordPress, but it looks like it might be adaptable to any PHP-based system) here.

Your right that blog is very well designed. You can do the same thing in EE using this [url=http://www.psychodaisy.com/index.php/blog/comments/948]tutorial[/url]. I am currently using that tutorial on my blog for expandable entries - I thought about using it on the side-bar, but decided against it.
Perfect! Thanks for the tip.
