      • It’s not a page, it’s a tag you can insert in the post so that you won’t see the whole article on the main page, but just the intro. If f.e. you look at the front page of my NF page, you will notice that only the beginning of each article is showed, and you have to click on it to read it in its full length: https://andersfinals.wordpress.com/ If you don’t insert the ‘more’ tag, then all your articles will appear in full length on the front page, and that can be quite unmanageable the more articles you have.

        Basically, what you have to do: Press ‘edit’ on the article, and place the cursor after the first lines, f.e. after “Farrukh Dustov and Rita Volk!”. Then up in the tool board, you will see a button named “More”. You click on it, and the text “” (without the citation marks) will appear.

      • The easiest way is to edit it in WP Admin. There you can find the “more” button. But you can also write the following: first a . I can’t write it here in combination, because it just disappears.

      • OK, it’s a bit difficult to explain, so here, as an example, I am editing my own NF page: You can see where the “more” tag is inserted, and where you can find it in the tool board:

  41. The full results from the international juries will be revealed tomorrow morning (hopefully without the Russian delegation crashing the party and database). 😛 In the meantime, please give a big round of applause for our winner tonight and the winner of “OMFO 2016”!

  44. My favourite won. She is the artist whose album I bought right after listening to this NF. While I do understand the appeal of ‘Afsona’, I find the song a tad too loud and in your face. It only got 7 points from the Cuban jury.

    Good luck Sevara, Ovidarch and Uzbekistan. 🙂
