    How do I create a “Cont. Story link” at the bottm of each story? The stories are long and it only shows a paragraph which is good, but at the end there is […] which i asume means there is more but you can not click on it… do you have to write in your own code here? and what php page would it show up on? I’m using Dapit.

    Also I would like there to be only 3 stories per page, the 3 most recent, rest is archived…how do you do this?

    THANKS!!!!
    Alex

    If you have […] it means you are using the_excerpt instead of the_content in your index.file.
    Unfortunately there is no way to change the bahaviour of that “[…]” unless editing core files.

    Or, more recommended, you can use a plugin:

    All you need do is add the following code

    <!--more-->

    You add that after the word or image you wish to end the intro on, the reader will then be taken to the rest of that page or post.

    You can use options to allow so many stories per page also.

    Good luck

    Just for the enlightement of future generations:
    <!--more--> will work only if you have the_content in your index, and yes, there is a Codex article how to customize it.
    However, the more is ineffective if the_excerpt tag is used in the index.php (or whichever file we are talking about).
