Continue Reading Link for Excerpts

Adds a « Continue Reading → » link to Hand-Crafted Excerpts on Archive Pages (i.e. Blog Pages). Excerpts are optional hand-crafted summaries of your content, that show up on Archive Pages, RSS feeds, etc. Hand-crafting these summaries give you a SEO as well as click through advantage.

The « Excerpt » field may not display by default on your edit post page, if not, click « Screen Options » at the top of the page and check « Excerpt ».

Mainly for use with StudioPress since StudioPress adds continue link to auto generated excerpts but not hand-crafted, but should work with other themes as well. Just note that this only modifies output for posts you’ve entered text into the « Excerpt » field, and, for themes that display the « Excerpt » field on Archive Pages.
