  I’m using twentyeleven and want to not have the full text of an entry viewable, but have the “… continue reading” link . I see that the Linen theme has this functionality. Does twentyeleven have it and if so how do I set it?

  thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We can insert “the more tag” into any post or or page on any theme to spilt content and have a read more link.

  Also note that there is an active excerpt box on the Twenty Ten theme and that means you can choose which text to enter as a “teaser” and even include a thumnail image by using the HTML editor and affect what displays on Category/Archive pages too if you wish to.

  Oops! re: excerpts
  You said Twenty Eeleven and not Twenty Ten – sorry.

  Works great. Thanks again. FWIW, I searched the Help for “collapse” and “collapse text”. Wondering if you might want to add those strings as possible hits for the more tag.
