 * Hi — I am new to WordPress and really like this theme. I have a Posts page that
   displays all my posts but want the 55 word extract with “continue reading” link
   to appear. How can I do this?
    Thanks.

 * Solved! I replaced the_content with the_extract in content.php and then added
   the following code to the funtions.php file to replace the […] with “Read the
   full article” link.
 * // Replaces the excerpt “more” text by a link
    function new_excerpt_more($more){
   global $post; return ‘ID) . ‘”> (Read the full article…)‘; } add_filter(‘excerpt_more’,‘
   new_excerpt_more’);
