The source for the good numberedness code is Fernandooo1 at Quite Random.  Reproducing here for my stashliness.  Also to show a few amendments, and to rail about Internet Explorer failing.

First, the code.  If you know Javascript at all, it's actually wicked easy - declare a counting variable just before the comment starts, then increment and print.

<b:includable id='comments' var='post'>

[...]

<dl id='comments-block'>

<script type='text/javascript'>var CommentsCounter = 0;</script>

<b:loop values='data:post.comments' var='comment'>

<dt style='clear: both;' class='comment-author' expr:id='"comment-" + data:comment.id'>
<a expr:name='"comment-" + data:comment.id'/>

<span class='numberingcomments'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.url' title='Comment Link'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CommentsCounter++;
document.write('#' + CommentsCounter + ': ');
</script>
</a>
</span>

<b:if cond='data:comment.authorUrl'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'>
<data:comment.author/>
</a>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.author/>
</b:if>
<data:commentPostedByMsg/>
</dt>

<dd class='comment-body'>
[...]
</dd>

</b:loop>
</dl>

In the CSS block at the top, style .numberingcomments however you like.

This is slightly different from the original code at Quite Random, primarily in that I did not want the number off to the right.  It currently displays as image, number#, author.

What I wanted was to change the dl/dt/dd stuff to ol/li/p stuff.  However, it seems that Internet Explorer has a little hasLayout issue.  When I changed the tags as noted just now, the icons (for anonymous, OpenID, Blogger, &c) would be vertically aligned to the middle, rather than the top, and no numbers would appear.

If I can figure out how to get around that for Internet Explorer, I will absolutely post that here.  I've nothing against Javascript, I just prefer simpler solutions.

Which is almost entirely why I post here, come to think of it.

Basically, Blogger has no "more" or "lj-cut" functionality.  You can get a start, sort of, with Blogger's help files, but they're (a) not that fleshed out and (b) not that good.

First, don't use a classic template, use one of the newer ones.  I did not work with a classic template, so I don't know.  Information primarily culled from here.

1. Edit the HTML, and expand the widget templates.
2. At the top, look for the <b:skin> tag.  It's near the giant "This is what template this is" box.  Just before that, put this code:
   

   <style>
   <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
      div.fullpost {display:inline;}
   <b:else/>
      div.fullpost {display:none;}
   </b:if>
   </style>

3. Search for <data:post.body>.  Put this in just after:

   <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
      <b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
         <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
            <b:if cond='data:label.name == &quot;more&quot;'>
               <a expr:href='data:post.url'>...<b>Read more</b></a>
            </b:if>
         </b:loop>
      </b:if>
   </b:if>

4. Change that "more" to the text you want.

You're done!  To make the cut:

Outside text.
<div class="fullpost">Inside text.</div>

Ah, Blogger.  As a friend said, aren't you supposed to copy successful technology?

<script language="javascript">
function toggleDisplay(det, des, show, hide) {
    if (det.style.display != 'none') {
        det.style.display = 'none';
        des.innerHTML = show;
    } else {
        det.style.display = 'block';
        des.innerHTML = hide;
    }
}
</script>

<p><a href="javascript:void(null);" onclick="toggleDisplay(document.getElementById('details'), this, 'Show &#9660;', 'Hide &#9650;');">Hide &#9650;</a></p>

<div id="details">Test.</div>

The Cisco VPN client doesn't work with Vista Home 64-bit, and I already had a Ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine, so I set up a VPN thing there.  My steps:

• Go to Applications > Add/Remove and install "VPN Connection Manager (vpnc)" and "Gnome-RDP".
• Click on the network connection icon in the tray and select VPN Connections > Configure VPN.
• Choose Add:
  • Forward.
  • "Compatible Cisco VPN client (vpnc)", forward.
  • Connection Name: A user-friendly name for the connection.
  • Gateway: The IP address your admin provides.
  • Group Name: The group name &c.
  • In the Optional tab, click "Override user name", and enter in your username.
  • Forward.
  • Click Apply, then Close.

To connect, click on the network connection icon again and select VPN Connections > aitpdx webservers. The icon should change to a lock.

The steps to create and run a remote desktop session are remarkably similar to the steps when in Windows, so I won't recreate them here.

I found a fix for it elsewhere, so I'll summarise it here:

1. Open wp-includes/rss.php and go to line 46 or thereabouts. Remove 'title' from the CONTENT_CONSTRUCTS array.

2. Open wp-includes/widgets.php and look for the wp_widget_rss_output function - I found it at line 1094. Within this code block, look for the following code and add the highlighted lines:

foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
             while ( strstr($item['link'], 'http') != $item['link'] ) {
                 $item['link'] = substr($item['link'], 1);
             }
             if($secondhttp = strpos($item['link'],'http',5)) {
                 $item['link'] = substr($item['link'],0,$secondhttp);
             }
             $link = clean_url(strip_tags($item['link']));
