   Hello there. I have TWENTY TEN theme on my wordpress.
   And I am trying to EDIT and ALIGN TO THE RIGHT the 'Continue Reading'.

   Here is my Blog's link --> http://www.musamarkhanco.com/

   Any idea how to carry out this thing? :S

   Don't edit the Twenty Ten theme. Instead create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

   I have already installed the Child theme now.
   I have a copy of the Header.php, Loop.php and Single.php now, and the footer.php with just this

   <?php

   add_action( 'init', 'mytheme_setup' );

   function mytheme_setup() {
   set_post_thumbnail_size( 100, 100, true );
   add_image_size( 'single-post-thumbnail', 250, 250 );
   }

   ============

   Now?

   To align the link right, try adding:

   .more-link {
   display:inline-block;
   text-align:right;
   }

   to your stylesheet. To change the continue reading text, you will need to make a copy of the loop.php template file and replace <?php the_content(); ?> with <?php the_content('Your text goes here'); ?>

   I did. But it dint go to the RIGHT.

   I added that CODE to both the Child theme style.css and the twentyten style.css, but still no work

   Leave Twenty Ten's style.css file alone! All of your changes/additions should be to your child theme only. Try:

   .more-link {
   display:block;
   text-align:right;
   }

   instead.

   Alright it aligned it to the right but when I tried to write 'Read More' in that Your Text Goes Here, its still Continue Reading there :S

   PS. I had to put a CUT in the post edit, can't the Excerpt itself be shown on the posts page?

   Try replacing <?php the_content(); ?> with <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    No. Just use <?php the_excerpt(); ?>. There are Codex pages on all of these functions. Have you tried reading any of them?

    Ok I replaced the <?php the_excerp('Your text goes here'); ?>
    with <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    and in the style.css of the child theme, there is
    

    .more-link {
    display:block;
    text-align:right;
    }

    and still its not aligned to the right side :s

    and now I havent tried the Codex pages. I am not a coder or developer you see.
