Hello, I just added a 'Read More' function so I could add a read more link to my excerpts...works great in the Loop, but when viewing a single post I get the 'Continue reading' text floating in the top left of the site as seen here:

Yes I a using a plugin for the meta description -"PLain Meta Tags"
I need to tell it so ignore the 'read more text' in the function correct?
How do I do this? Thanks.
get a different plugin - hopefully one that is programmed properly to work with these excerpt read-more links.
