 * Got my site up ad is configuring, one thing that drivs me crazy is that I cant
   seem to get rid of or configure the “continue reading” thing. I want the whole
   post to show on the first page or at lleast way more than the few lines of text
   on there now. I know, im a total newbie lol.

 * Did you add **<!–more–>** tag to your post content? Or does it automatically 
   add “continue reading” link? Please see this page for more information:

 * it automatically ads it, ideal would be to totally remove it so the whole posts
   shows without it. It did on my BlogSpot page. Thanks for your response.

 * I think your theme uses **the_excerpt()** function to display post content. It
   automatically creates a post summary. You should replace it with **the_content()**
   function.

 * Each theme could have different file names ( Could be **content.php** ). Contact
   the theme author for more information.
