I’m starting to use more links too.
But what if you have a nice beautiful image (say 640 X 480px) in your post and you still want that image (resized of course!) to be part of the entry so that you post isn’t just all text. For exaple, look at how Purse Blog (http://www.PurseBlog.com ) has nice small intros with a “Continue Reading” button, but the glamourous fashion product image is still part of the shortened post. How do I do that??

I know some professional themes do that right off the bat. But is there a way to tell WordPress that you want the image in your post to also be part of the shortened entry?

Thanks for the tips!

[...] That goes into your theme’s functions.php file. Simply edit the “Keep reading this post” string to whatever you would like to use for your custom more text. This is a good way to change your theme’s more text without modifying any theme template files — perfect for customization via child themes! Check out Justin Tadlock’s article for more information.

Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Was able to hook it up on Thematic without any issues. Out of curiosity: what are the 10 and 2 numbers refering to?
Thanks!

@Simon;

You should be able to add this class to your style.css file and style it accordingly:
.more-link {
}

I am using this one but not able to edit its style, like I want it to display in bold and underline.

Can I change that on the stylesheet or in the functions.php itself.

Hi Justin,

I’m finding a lot of useful stuff here.

My homepage was getting a bit full so I’ve just edited a few posts and put in the
tag to tidy it up a bit. I know there’s plugins that do something similar but this is so simple and you can choose where to put the tag to intrigue people – a bit like having a headline that makes them want to read more.
Now I have a whole compact list a partial posts and I think it will get me more readers.

Haven’t got as far as the advanced stuff yet
