  I want to add the read more feature to my pages. I added it from the tool bar and actually see the the line MORE when I am in the editing part, but when i update it doesn’t appear.

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

  If you want to display only post excerpts on the front page or the blogs page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

  Please Read Go Back and Edit Posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts and be sure to click Update to publish the after your editing.

  For other ways to split content see > https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/

  As you are using older retired theme, and as themes are retired when they no longer support all wordpress.com features you may want to follow the recommendation and switch to an newer them.

  Switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes

  Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

  If you do not have the required access and someone else registered the site you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them act.

  The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
