   I currently have:
   <?php the_content(__('Read more about this article')); ?>

   However I want to be able to include the title of the article. All the things that worked with 1.2 don't seem to work for me with 1.5.

   I realise I need to use the_title but am unsure as to the correct way to change it.

   Can anyone tell me how to get it to work!

   This is a tough one. Basically you want:

   <?php the_content('Continue reading <?php the_title(); ?>...'); ?>

   Which won't work in that form, so don't try it. I'm not good at breaking up php code, so maybe someone here can do it.

   A version of what I use:

   <?php the_content("Continue reading $post->post_title"); ?>

   <?php the_content("Continue reading " . the_title() ); ?>

   Fascinating how you can often do the same thing through different means, eh?

   Kafkaesqui, thanks your method worked.

   MtDewVirus, yours didn't, though that had worked in 1.2 . The the_title was added in, but came immediately after the<div class="storycontent"> ???

   the_title echoes by default. To use MtDewVirus' method, try:

   <?php the_content('Continue reading ' . the_title('','',FALSE) ); ?>

   I haven't tried it myself, though.
