 * Have you read [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content)
 * You use it to flag what part of your post should show up before the ‘read more’
   link on an index page (like archives, category, etc).

 * What do you mean ‘blog template’?
 * You can have a PAGE template (like a front page that shows some posts) and on
   that page, use `the_content()` so it will automatically pull in posts and, if
   they use `<!--more-->`, it’ll respect that.
 * If you want, post your template code up on [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)
   and we can have a look.

 * Okay that’s called a page template 🙂
 * You have `<?php the_content(''); ?>` in there already, so it should respect any
   posts listed there and use ‘Read More…’

 * Okay, let me explain again.
 * MORE works when in your POST (i.e. [http://unusual-projects.lt/?p=1291](http://unusual-projects.lt/?p=1291))
   you use the `<!--more-->` tag.
 * You’re not. I can tell by scanning that page’s source code. It would show up.
 * Go to [http://test.ipstenu.org/](http://test.ipstenu.org/)
 * See the second post ‘This is how More Works’?
 * If you then view [http://test.ipstenu.org/2011/08/this-is-how-more-works/](http://test.ipstenu.org/2011/08/this-is-how-more-works/)
   you see this:
 * `<p>Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court
   for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security
   stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government,
   they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem and no one else can
   help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-team.<span id="more-
   719"></span></p>`
 * The `<span id="more-719"></span>` is how I know I’m using the MORE tag 🙂
 * When I view your posts, NONE of them are using it, so of course it won’t work
   🙂
