    I have this code in a page template, but the posts are not using the "more" tag. How can I make the "more" tag be used?

    I am wondering WHY would you need to struggle with a custom Loop for this? If using the default Page template for your "posts page" the more should work properly.

    When I try using the default Page template, and designate it the "posts page" under "options" -> "reading," that page just displays what is on the home page (home.php).

    Maybe it will help to look at my site. I just want a page that displays the latest 5 posts and utilizes the "more" tag.

    that page just displays what is on the home page (home.php).

    This one above seems to be the key sentence: If you are using the Options > Reading method to set your main/home/front page - you do NOT need a home.php... that's for earlier stages of WP.

    If you set a Page to be your blog Page, you also need to assign another Page as your frontpage.
    Both Pages have to be created BEFORE you go to the OPtions.
