This is a long pending post, should have posted long back. I was preoccupied with my office work and some personal affairs. Sorry for not being able to reply all your comments and mails.

Enable “Read More” Feature in wordpress

WordPress "Read More" link

Many of you have been requesting feature to post only “excerpts” or “summaries” of your post on front page or category or archive pages. But we already have that feature in WordPress text editor, a button called “Incert More tag (alt+shift+t)”. Place your cursor at the end of the line where you want the “Read more” link and press the “Incert More tag” button, which will end your post at the point of your cursor with a “Read More” link, or whatever the text is defined in theme.

But as Dr. G requested for custom excerpts, Means instead of using few lines of the post as intro, he want to be able to use a custom written summery of the post. For that I will have to add a theme option, which will enable the “Excerpt” (if you have written one in your post edit page, see the image), and replace the actual post from front page. I will try to add this option in future versions or any new theme release.

How To Change The Hyperlink Text Decoration

Another common request I have been receiving is “How to change link color” or “How to add underline”

Just add the following code at the end of style.css

div.postwrap div.postcontent a,
div.postwrap div.postcontent a:visited {
text-decoration: underline; /* For text-decoration, other values can be: blink, line-through, none, overline */
color: #3399FF; /* For hyperlink color, you can use http://www.colorpicker.com/ to choose color values */
}


Remember, you do not need the line “text-decoration : underline;” in idream, because it already has underlined link. And this will change hyperlinks in your post content only.
