How to Insert a Read More in WordPress Posts

1. Click 'Add New' in 'Posts' to create a new WordPress post, or click 'Posts' and then click 'Edit' under an existing post you want to edit.
2. Click the 'Visual' tab if it is not yet enabled. This ensures you are in WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) mode.

3. Write your blog post. Click where you want the 'Read More' link to appear.
4. Click the fourth icon from the right on the editing toolbar. This icon is the 'Insert More Tag' command. It looks like two rectangles separated by a line. WordPress will now display a horizontal line followed by the word 'More' where you added it.
5. Resume writing your blog post. When you are finished, click 'Publish' if it is a new post or 'Update' if it is an existing post. Your blog will initially display only the words coming before the 'Read More' link. When a visitor clicks that link, the rest of the post will be displayed.
