 * I am new to blogging. I bought a template that has a fancy “Read the rest of 
   this entry”. How do I type a post that will only give me a few lines of the post
   and then use the fancy read the rest…instead of the default Read More that is
   on the tool bar?

 * If you paid money for the template you’re currently using, you got scammed. That’s
   just the default wordpress template.
 * As for your question, looks like you solved the problem?
