   Can anyone help with the below code. I can't get the 'Read more...' link to display in my index.php. Am i missing a setting in the wp-admin?? I'm lost, any help would be greatly appreciated.

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <?php query_posts("category_name=Blog"); ?> 
   
   <?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
   
   	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
   
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   				<div class="postTitle"><h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2></div><div class="dateStamp"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> -->| <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></div>
   
   				<div class="entry">
                   <?php the_content('Read more...'); ?>
   				</div>
   			</div>
   
   		<?php endwhile; ?>
   
   		<div class="navigation">
   			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
   			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
   		</div>
   
   	<?php else : ?>
   
   		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
   		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.
   
   		<?php get_search_form(); ?>
   
   	<?php endif; ?>
   
   	</div>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Try moving $more = 0; to just before the_content tag.

   Kountz,
   try moving the
   <?php $more = 0 ?>
   just after the while loop. it worked with me after long trials and errors.

   here my version of the loop for my custom Blog page

   <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">
   	<?php global $more; ?>
   	<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=10');
   	while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   	<?php $more = 0; ?>
   		<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   			<div class="thumbnail">
   				<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/images/<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post-thumbnail', true); ?>" width="200" height="200" alt="Post Image" /></a>
   			</div><!-- thumbnail ends -->
   			<div class="entry">
   				<h1 class="post-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   				<small class="post-info"><strong>Posted: </strong><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> in <?php the_category(', ') ?> by <?php the_author() ?></small>
   				<div class="post-desc">
   					<?php the_content('Read more'); ?><span class="post-comments"><?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></span>
   				</div>
   			</div>
   		</div><!-- post ends -->
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   	</div><!-- content ends -->
