How do I create a “Read More” link?
I’ve seen them on other blogs… It has a portion of the post, and then a read more link to read the rest of it… How do I do this?
-
when writing use the “more” tag: <!–more–>
and write below it what you want to appear after people click “read more” -
There is also this page:

Only one theme at wordpress.com I know of the Hemingway theme always displays only excerpts from two posts side-by-side on the front page. In other themes more tag must be added using either the visual rich text editor, the standard editor or hand coding it into each post you that you wish to break the text into smaller segments in.
(1) If you are using the visual rich text editor then the icon number to use is #13 as Mark has directed you to above and, you use it wherever you want the text break to occur.
(2) If you are using the standard editor click the [more] button wherever you want the text break to occur.
(3) If you are hand coding type in <!–more–> wherever you want the text break to occur.
(4) If you do not like the text that the theme is hardcoded to provide when you use the more tag you can change it by hand coding in
<!–more your text goes here more!–>. -
its a great feature and works for my posts. but it how can i do the “read more” icon for entries on the pages?
