    In wordpress when an article gets too long it will stop and display a "[…]" indicating that there is more if you click on the blog title, however I want to change this […] into a link saying Read full article linking to the entire article, how would I go about doing this using wordpress.

    the site template i have this issue with is at pahky.com

    Thanks. :)

    I use the "Post Teaser" plugin. It allows you to customize the "read more" text.

    There are other plugins that do a similar job - find them at http://wp-plugins.net

    Or even simpler. Edit your index.php in the theme directory and look for this:
    
    <div class="entry">
    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
    				</div>
    
    Code (markup):
    Replace the text inside the '' with the text you want displayed.
