 * I’m trying to find out what tags need to be used to do the equivalent of what(
   more…) does but rather than displaying (more…), displaying “Continue reading _“
   post title”_ here”, with or without anchor on the next page.
    (more…) just isn’t
   obvious or appealing enough I think. What can you recommend?

 * I’d edit the (more…) and add in the_title tag…
    `<?php the_title('before','after',
   display); ?>` – more info on the tag on the wiki at [http://wiki.wordpress.org/the_title](http://wiki.wordpress.org/the_title)

 * This won’t solve the problem (if I understand it correctly) of “with or without
   the anchor on the next page” but:
    the_content(‘Continue reading “‘ . get_the_title().‘”
   here’);

 * how do you limit the length of a post before it will display the ‘more…’?

 * When editing the post… right above the text area is a set of buttons called Quicktags.
   Set the cursor where you want ot cut it off at and hit the “more” button. It 
   will add the <!–more–> tag at that point.
    That’s it! Tg

 * I love that More feature! After a few weeks of wondering where it was, it is 
   now more obvious!
    Wordpress really rocks!
