Changing the ‘More’ Text

  Okay right now, every time I use the <!–more–> code, what appears on my blog is this:

  “Continue reading ‘Post name'” and it’s a link. I have seen on others’ blogs that it can be simplified to something like ‘Read more’ or just ‘Continue reading’ or any variation thereof, but I don’t know how to change it.

  Help?

  It might be theme related, but you could try:
  Go to edit your post. Switch from the visual editor to the html editor and look for “Continue reading ‘Post name”. Change those words to “read more” or whatever you like.

  Thanks for the suggestion, 1tess, but the HTML editor shows the code exactly as I typed above with no additional text and the visual editor shows a long thin line with a tiny box at the right end that says more… on it.

  Right. I don’t use that feature, so I forgot it’s a different sort of link. Sorry about that.
