I have gone to the codex for customizing the more tag and followed the instructions exactly (to insert an image) and when I do, the only thing that shows on the home page of my site is
; ?>
I had a contractor look at my site and he thinks it is not working because of changes made to WP in the current version.
Can anyone confirm this?
Sorry - your contractor is incorrect. There have been no changes to the more tag coding in recent versions of WordPress.

then why would this:
<?php the_content('Watch the Video...<img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_directory'). '/assets/img/videoIcon.gif" alt="Watch the Video" title="Watch the Video..." />'); ?>
display this '); ?> on the page?
Impossible to say without seeing the site and the theme's template files. Best guess is that there's a syntax error further up the page. What I do know is that the technique described in Customizing_the_Read_More works perfectly for me in 3.2.1.

using the twentyeleven theme
so sad that I can't make this work. what I had to do was add an img tag just before the <!--more Watch the Video--> tag. Which gives the desired effect but does not make the img a clickable link to the post.
And of course the icon image shows up in the post page.
Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.
Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.
