could be caused by your theme;
have you checked index.php (?), to see how the ‘read more’ is added?

for more suggestions, you might need to provide more info:
name and downoad link of your theme (only useful if it is a free theme)?
link to your site?
Here’s the code for the post part of index.php,

I’m also running a premium theme, Bold News (WooThemes), my website is http://www.techteenager.net
Thanks for your quick reply!

adding something like this to custom.css of your theme might shift the ‘read more’ into the same line with your other icons:
.more-link img { float:left; margin-right: 10px;}
ps:
if you want to change the arrow, use a graphic editor on:
/wp-content/themes/TTN%20Advanced/images/more3.png
Yeah I know about the arrow haha, I changed it from the regular ‘Read More’ text. Thank you for your help on switching the position of the images! It worked like magic!

Also one more thing, I’d like to make the social images (Digg, Twitter, etc) float to the right, which I think I accomplished correctly by just setting the margin high on the code that you gave me. Behind both the ‘Read More’ and the social images, I’d like to have a repeating background (http://bit.ly/fjjDr2) so that you can still see the ‘Read More’ and images but behind them (like Photoshop layers) is the background.
I tried simply making this class in the css, along with a <span> tags around the ‘more’ part of the index, but it didn’t work. Any ideas?
.social_share{
background: url(http://www.techteenager.net/wp-content/themes/TTN%20Advanced/images/more_repeat.png) repeat-x;
height:20px;
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
I was reading some questions like this and the best answer I got was that wordpress has to put the more in its own element so there is no way to have it on the same line. However I discovered that if you don’t tag your paragraphs with a <p> in the html of the admin post section wordpress adds them for you. It may be auto matic or because I have the setting>General>WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically box checked any way I do this and just put the more tag at the end of the sentence that I want it and word press nests them together.
