  I’m wondering how to add the read more option so my posts aren’t insanely long. The WordPress help pages aren’t especially helpful on telling me how to go about adding this feature, I’ve also searched google but have yet to find anything useful, can anyone help me with this?

  To shorten your post and use the ‘read more’ option, you have to use the ‘more’ tag, which, in visual mode, is next to the link icons, and in the html, is the ‘more’ tag.

  Hope that helps.
