# Insert Read More Tag

 * I am working on posting the second article to my blog and for some reason when
   I try inserting the read more tag it is deleting or rather cutting out the top
   three paragraphs of my article. It is just completely removing them and they 
   do not appear on my homepage or in my blog post. I have been trying to fix it
   since late last night and I did not do anything different than I did when I inserted
   the read more tag into my first article. Website glitch?
 * Here are the steps I took –
 * 1. Highlighted the top two paragraphs of my article after I imported it into 
   word press.
    2. Clicked the box icon for the Insert Read More tag.
 * If I am doing this wrong can someone please let me know? Like I said it worked
   perfectly the first time.

 * Please just add some space in the editor to include it. When you highlight that
   text, then perform such an action, it **replaces** what is highlighted.

 * Don’t highlight the paragraphs, just go to a new line where you want to split
   the page and click the button.

 * Thanks, guys! I knew it was something simple. I guess I shouldn’t stay up until
   3am working. LOL
