[…] is a read more tag and I do see that it’s not working on your blog. Did you create this post http://brainvain.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/85/ one your own blog’s dashboard at http://brainvain.wordpress.com/wp-admin? Or did you create it here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/
I have tagged this thread for Theme Staff support. -
Thank you for responding! I created the both posts with http://brainvain.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

Where you created the posts is irrelevant. The read-more tag works as expected on themes that normally display full posts on the main posts page. But Origin displays excerpts. An auto excerpt on Origin shows the first 55 words of the post. If you insert the read-more tag before that limit, the remaining words won’t show; if you insert it after that limit, then naturally it has no effect. If you want more than 55 words on the front page, you need to create your own custom excerpt in the Excerpt module of the post editor.

The number at the end means that brainvain started with the content of the post, and added the title after the permalink had been formed.

1. Switch themes
2. Keep the theme and use a workaround.
Not all blog themes are designed to display full posts on the front page of the blog. Please read the theme description here > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/origin/The Origin theme is behaving exactly the way it is designed to behave, which is excerpts only on the front page of the blog but Origin does have an active excerpt box below the post editor, so you can control the length of the excerpt displayed. This is the workaround you can use to override excerpt display on the front page.
You compose your whole post first and before you publish it you switch to the HTML (Text) editor, copy the code, paste it into the Excerpt box, and publish the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/#creating-excerpts
This will have to be done on every post. -
