click on posts and select a post and click edit
when you have your post in editor left click on place where you want the read more link
when you see the courser flashing press Alt+Shift+T
You will have line with More at end
publish
Now if you see the post it will have continue reading link
but i cant see any courser flashing thing on the post editor after having a left click where i wanted ‘read more’ button. when i clicked the ‘Alt+Shift+T’ i think its for making my post text ‘right align’ because
‘right align’ button gets activated when i press ‘Alt+Shift+T’

anyway thanx for your kind answer @govpatel
since you using your keyboard with another language the keys must have been changed.
In your wordpress editor fifth icon from right just before unlink icon is the one that will put read more link in the post.
oh there was a mistake.i pressed the wrong key so didnt work.
but now i can see ‘Read the rest of this entry’ below the post i edited.
but i want ‘Read the rest of this entry’ automatically below every post without doing this (what you said) after showing 3 or 4 lines of post.

and i want that option because that blog im making is going to be a public blog where all people are allowed to post.and i think people are not going to do that to add ‘Read the rest of this entry’ and they just
publish it and it will look bad..
there is instruction how to use Excerpt

Hi Guys
I have been trying to achieve a similar outcome with “read More” etc
I have done as Govpatel suggested and have achieved read more in visual edit but when I have updated I return to the web page I find nothing has changed.
I have also been try various other thing but not getting any change to the web site
My problems are new item on forum “Problem editing web pages”
regards
Here’s how i did that.
first go to theme editor for editing ‘Main Index Template
(index.php) then find the following code>>>
‘the_content()
and change it to
the_excerpt()
That’s it
Hi
Tried what you said but could not find ‘the_content() i guess this would only be for the main page I have created some additional pages.
I tried having a look there but found similar code with the word “content” and changed to “excerpt” but still no change.
Eventually went back to the original source and copied part of the article and pasted in visual and repeated for the 2nd half of article now the article shows fully
Still other prob’ to sort out
