minion08hi there,
ok - i'd like to be able to specify the link text to a post within a loop, like is done here;
the loop is displaying a list of posts (5 in total) which has the date, permalink, and excerpt. however (the client) would like read more >> as a link to that post below the excerpt also.
here's the code i'm using;
<ul>
<?php
$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
$recentPosts->query('showposts=5');
?>
<?php while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
<li><em>
<?php the_time('jS F Y') ?>
</em><br />
<a href="<?php
the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>feel free to add some polish to that if you like - it's all new to me.
thanks in advance.
Jas
