 * I want to use shortened versions of my blog posts that require a visitor to click
   a link to view the full post.
 * Im using a custom theme that I don’t want to change but can’t find a way of doing
   it. Is there a piece of codeI could edit to allow this?
 * my website is ww.club1985.com and any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * The site is not safe for work however.
 * Thanks

 * The easiest way is probably to use the `<!--more-->` tag.
