Customize Read More

I found the topic I wanted in order to lean how to insert an image into the <!–more–> link.

But it seems the tutorial is written for either advanced coders or mind readers because I cannot see where the author(s) tells me which file contains the coding that needs to be changed and where it/they are located. Or perhaps as a complete rookie I am missing this important text withing the article.

I do hope someone please tell me which file(s) need to have coding changed and where they are located.

Many thanks
