 * Can anyone tell me how I can have the link to an article read “to continue reading
   click here” instead of displaying the article’s URL?

 * Hello!
 * It can be done by editing your theme’s php files. Could you tell me which theme
   are you using, and maybe a link showing where exactly you want to change that?
   So I could provide you with the necessary code.

 * Thank you…the theme is Meeta 1.0.3 and this link is just one example: [http://www.rtfrtc.com/life-wisdom-star-wars-20-quotes/](http://www.rtfrtc.com/life-wisdom-star-wars-20-quotes/)

 * I think you are using some under maintenance plugin, because I am getting this:

 * Thank you very much!
 * I am not sure, but it looks like that the huff.to link is actually inside that
   page’s/post’s content text, it is not generated by theme (I am thinking this 
   because it actually points to a completely different website).
 * If you edit that page or post, you should be able to see it exactly in the content
   as it is visible on the public side.
    If that is the case, this is what I would
   do:
 * 1.) Inside the page or post editor, select the link, and copy it.
    2.) After 
   the actual link, type in the read more text you would like to appear 3.) Select
   that text, and click to the insert/edit link button (screenshot [here](http://d.pr/i/HafL))
   4.) In the little popup window, in the URL: textbox, paste the link you have 
   copied, and click OK. 5.) Delete the original link text.
 * Let me know if it helped.
