Custom more link "show content limit"

Hi all,

After a couple of hours searching the web i still didn’t found a solution for my problem.

I’m using the last version of the genesis featured widget amplified to show a post on my home page. In the widget i choose the option “show content limit”, which allows me to get a read more link beneath my post.

Is there a way to customize the read more link?

On other posts i used the excerpt which i customized in function.php with this code:

// Customizes read more link in excerpts
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
global $post;
return '<a class="more_link" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"><span class="customReadMore">>></span> Lees meer</a>';}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

(i can’t use the excerpt option now because i want to use a different lenght of words for this specific post)

Thanks in advance!
