5. Then find this code <div class='post-header-line-1'/> .
6. If You found it you will see a code like this:

7. The next step is change or replace the code (Only Number 6 code) to be like this:

8. Under it you will see a code like this <p><data:post.body/></p>
9. Put the code below under it.

<b:else/>
<style>#fullpost {display:none;}</style>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<span id='showlink'>
<p><a expr:onclick='"javascript:showFull(\"post-" + data:post.id + "\");"' href='javascript:void(0);'>[+/-] Show Full Post...</a></p>
</span>
<span id='hidelink' style='display:none'>

</span>
<script type='text/javascript'>checkFull("post-" + "<data:post.id/>")</script>

<div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='"post-" + data:post.id'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
