Thank you! This was exactly what I have been looking for.

Thanks for your idea, however, that is exactly where the quote given above came from. Since I know nothing about this stuff, I went back there are saw no indications that one might find any code there. Just to be clear, I dragged one of the active links to the area beside my article. Maybe you could provide a more detailed place following admin>appearance>widgets wherein the code would be found.

And I bet you know how to explain that so I can now do that, right?

Thank you MichaelH for providing some semblance of an answer, hopefully, it will not be offensive to state that Stuart Wider, the designer of this theme, has previously responded with that same information. Thus giving a positive indication that programers, theme developers and others knowledgeable in the world of WordPress should be capable of using and understanding this arcane language. Although it appears to be a subtle form of communication, I do understand that you would, perhaps, prefer that I pay someone to do this for me.

While I can certainly understand your position, that would not advance my knowledge of this subject matter and since it is my current intention to make many of these it would, therefore, become an expensive endeavor. Accordingly, I respectfully request that you tell me where I might learn how to resolve this issue. It may well be that it is as simple as reading a few more articles or as complex as taking a series of courses. Again thank you in advance.

I am using Heatmap Theme, and I tried several variants including: http://heatmaptheme.com/index.php, without favorable results. Certainly, since so many people write articles and leave only parts of such articles on the front page attentuating or deferring the rest of the article to a secondary and/or tertiary page.

If that is not the reality of WP blogging, could you provide a more specific direction in which to make this change?

Thank you! You both offered some valuable advice. RVoodoo, how long do you think before the merge occurs? If the timing is not good, then I should be able to follow Shane Gs recommendation

RVoodoo, while I am sure that will work, on my computer it can only do so if I can find everything that you have described, and, unfortunately, that is not the case. First, I don’t even know what the ‘main body section’ is or where to find it, nor do I know how to ‘insert a “read more” break, and what I found beside the chain link icons in the editor is among other things a list that goes like this:
Development Blog
Documentation
Plugins, et al

Then I found ‘order by name,’ ‘order by link ID,’ ‘order by address,’ and ‘order by rating,’ none of which seemed to suggest that they would appropriately form a ‘read more’ link. Is it possible to be a little more explicit in your explanation understanding that yesterday I would have never thought that I would be here doing this now.
