</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
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 10px 5px 0px;"><img src="'+img[0].src+'" width="'+img_thumb_width+'px" height="'+img_thumb_height +'px"/></span>';
summ = summary_img;
}
var summary = imgtag + '<div>' + removeHtmlTag(div.innerHTML,summ) + '</div>';
div.innerHTML = summary;
}
//]]>
</script>

<b:if cond='data:blog.metaDescription == &quot;&quot;'>
&nbsp;<! Then use the post body as the schema.org description, for good G+/FB snippeting. -->
<div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='&quot;post-body-&quot; + data:post.id' itemprop='description articleBody'>
<data:post.body/>

<!-- clear for photos floats -->
</div> <b:else/>
<div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='&quot;post-body-&quot; + data:post.id' itemprop='articleBody'>
<data:post.body/>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
<!-- clear for photos floats

</div>
&nbsp;</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:post.hasJumpLink'>
<div class='jump-link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url + &quot;#more&quot;' expr:title='data:post.title'>
<data:post.jumpText/></a>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'>
<data:post.body/>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'>
<data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;); </script> <span class='rmlink' style='float:right;padding-top:20px;'><a expr:href='data:post.url'> continue reading &quot;<data:post.title/>&quot;</a></span> </b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if> </b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'><b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div style='padding-top:3px;float:right;text-align:right;'><span class='rmlink'><a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick' style='margin-right:10px;'>Add Your Opinion</a></span><span class='rmlink'><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'> <b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'><a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>1 Opinion<b:else/><data:post.numComments/> Opinions </b:if></a> </b:if> </b:if></span>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
</div>
</b:if>
</b:if>
