Follow these steps:
1. Open the functions.php file located in your theme directory
2. Add the following code:
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
global $post;
return '<br /><a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">' . 'Read More »' . '</a>';
}
add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘new_excerpt_more’);
Thank you for that. However, I am using Genesis with a child theme, and if I add your code to my child theme’s functions.php file, it breaks the site (“internal server error”). Under “no circumstances” am I supposed to modify the Genesis functions file!
Any ideas ???
thank you again,
Nancy

You can ask your questions on the links given above or you can contact Genesis Framework.
