 * Hi All,
 * I am using WP 2.5.1 with the [Whitespace](http://www.briangardner.com/themes/whitespace-wordpress-theme.htm)
   3-column theme. I am very new to CSS/PHP and I have just ventured into WP within
   the past week. Needless to say, I am having a slight problem formatting my WP
   page.
 * Per the below link to my website, I am having a problem forcing the “Continue
   Reading…” string to a new line below an excerpt of my post. Currently the string
   is appending to the end of the excerpt.
 * [http://shortlink123.bounceme.net](http://shortlink123.bounceme.net)
 * The code to generate my excerpt is listed below. How do I make the “Continue 
   Reading…” link appear two lines below the actual excerpt?
 *     ```
       <div id="contentleft">
   
       		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       		<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   
                       <?php the_content(__('Continue Reading...'));?><div style="clear:both;"></div>
       ```
   
 * I have a feeling this is a simple PHP command, however I cannot seem to figure
   it out. Thank you all in advance.
 * For example,
 * My current formatting is:
 * > Yadda yadda yadda, this is my excerpt of a post. Continue Reading…
 * I would like it to be:
 * > Yadda yadda yadda, this is my excerpt of a post.
   > Continue Reading…

 * Add this to your style.css file:
 *     ```
       a.more-link {display:block;}
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps.
