  I have tried adding the “read more” button to existing posts but it doesn’t appear after updating the post.
  I would also like to learn how to cut the vertical length of my blog – at the moment it scrolls down and down, with one post after another… Thank you, Jess

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

  Please check the More Tag support document that teaches you how to add “read more” tag. You can also configure “read more” to whatever you want it to be.

  Looks like you want to remove infinite scrolling. Infinite Scrolling support document explains how.

  Please feel free to ask if you have further questions :-)

  Thanks so much for getting back to me. I followed this for the read more tag –
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
  Maybe i did something wrong – or is it only possible to add the tag to a new post? I was trying to edit existing posts… Thanks for the infinite scrolling tip – i hadn’t known what it was called! Cheers, Jess

  Oops, I missed to link the more tag support document. But yeah you figured the support document.

  You can always edit the existing posts to include the more tag. Have you found it this is not the case?

  I have, which is why I figured I was doing something wrong (even though it’s super straightforward – just add the button in the post, right? Anyhow, thanks for your help – it’s much appreciated :) I will try tomorrow on a new post and see if it works…
