If I do this, how do I put the excerpts from recent posts onto it? I’m currently using the Digg3 template on WordPress.com.

I searched around for about an hour before I found this simple solution to the problem. All other posts and books! simply said the “more” feature existed without really explaining where in the hell it was located. Godddd, I can’t believe this is not more obvious in WP or WP books.

Is there anyway I can use the exerpt on other pages?

I think it would be even greater if you could make the More tag work like the Excerpt feature; in other words, when you click More, only the part of the post following the tag appears. Is this possible?

If you’re using .com, I’d recommend getting in touch with support, who will be able to help you in a more hands on way. If you’re self-hosting your blog, the WordPress.org forums are usually a good community fueled way to work through issues like this.

I’m having the same trouble that miamicomplaints is having. I can’t cut the links where I want to with the more button like the video showed. When I put in the insert more tag, it just doesn’t do anything to the blog I posted. It doesn’t cut the part separated.

The box *sounds* like what it should be doing – creating a separator, but if you have any more problems I’d check out WordPress.com support – they’ll be able to iron out the problem for you (assuming you’re bloggng with .com)

When I copy the excerpt in the Excerpt section nothing happens and when I try the more a box comes up and the curser turn into the four arrows and cannot do anything with it. How can I fix this?
Thanks

There is just a white dot flickering around on a black screen. Is there a text version of these instructions somewhere?
