    1. Which file do you edit so you can add a small image before the "Read More" link when you use <!--more-->

    2. How do you change the text "Read More" to something else?

    Hope someone can help me out. +Rep for those who can.

    Find out 'More' term in your theme's index.php file and replace it with 'Read More' term.

    DON.

    If you want to change the look of the “Read More” link do this. Go into “Design” and choose “Theme Editor”. Click on the main index template (index.php). Find this line:

    the_content(’Read the rest of this entry »’);

    Replace the line with this:

    the_content(’Read more about “’ . get_the_title() . ‘”’);

    Now replace the “read more about” to for example “Continue reading”. The finished line would be:

    the_content(’Continue Reading “’ . get_the_title() . ‘”’);

    And your blog visitors will see this as:

    Continue reading “Your Blog Post Title”.
