I thought the purpose of blogging was to enable linking to useful, topical, and interesting material. What’s the point of posting a url as text? Shouldn’t WordPress automatically convert anything with an http:// in front of it to a hyperlink?
I understand that. That’s fine, but the majority of users would not be aware of that. Is there a way to force a url to show as a link, instead of plain text. My message boards all work that way, as do many blogs that I have seen.
I had the same question. Wanted to have the feed show a summary, then a MORE link.
So you have answered the first part. Thanks! But how would I include the read MORE link? I tried this

but to no avail.
