Guide For Adding Read More to Wordpress

1
Sign into your blog account on #WordPress.
If you do not have a WordPress blog, go to the WordPress home page and click on the orange button that says "Get Started Here." It will take you through the sign up process.
2
Click on "My Account" on the left side of the
top horizontal toolbar.
3
Scroll down through your dashboard. Your
dashboard is the vertical list on the left side of the
page. Click on the small arrow to the right of the
"Posts" Tab. This will show you options for your
posts, including "All Posts," "Add New," "Categories,"
"Post Tags" and "Copy a Post."
4
Click "All Posts" to take you to posts you have
already written.
This is a good place to learn how
to use the "Read More" code.
If you do not have any posts, select "Add New"
instead. This will take you to your "Add New
Post" page and allow you to blog. Type in the
title and text.
5
Hover over your post title and click "edit"
below the title.
Click on the HTML view tab
instead of the standard WordPress Visual Editor
tab.
6
Find the insertion point for "Read More." It is a
button on the toolbar that says "More."
7
Place your cursor at the point in your post
where you want to end your excerpt and put
the "Read More" link.
8
Click on the "More" button. This will insert the
"Read More" code. You should place the link at a
point where the reader knows what the post is
about. It should also entice them to read more. Try
to place it at 2 to 3 paragraphs or less into the
article.
9
Click the "Update" button to save changes, or
click the "Preview" button to view the page
before you publish it.
10
Return to your blog to see your published
changes.
