    Hi, i have a wordpress blog and have alot of articles each day and want to add a "read more" option so users can skim through the news and read more about the articles they like.


    Could someone tell me exactly how to do this?

    I tried excerts, but i need to do something with the template, and i can't find any good instructions.
    thanks

    When writing a post, just add this code (via source code view and not html) when you want the more tags to appear:

    <!--more-->


    Also in the HTML view you will see a button on which two dividers are drawn in between two boxes. That denotes the more tag.

    Also you can use plugins like The Excerpt reloaded to do it automatically.

    Up to you and best of luck!
