In wordpress, when creating or editing a post, click the "HTML" view and put the cursor where you want the break to be and press the "MORE" button.

Or you can manually type in the code wherever you want it <!--more-->. But you MUST put it in the HTML editor and not the plain text or it will be plain text, also there are NO spaces in that code.
<!--  more  --> wont work.

That <!--more--> just splits your post at that point, so the first part goes on your home page and the "Read more" link goes to the full post. I think you're asking about something dynamic that shows and then hides the content on the same page?? (examples would be helpful).

In that case you'd need to add some javascript. Do a search for "javascript hide/show". It's pretty simple to implement if you can. I'm not sure if you can add custom JavaScript in Blogger???
