More link in excerpt

    Hi, Is there a way to add “continue reading” links automatically when using the_excerpt? I’d prefer not to use the_content and more-tags, since the desired excerpts may not start the post itself. When using the_excerpt, it’s a bit of a nuisance to have to enter a “continue reading” link manually.

    cheers

    No need, found the wordpress excerpt editor plugin to do it for me.

    <?php global $more; $more = false; ?>
<?php the_content('Continue Reading'); ?>
<?php $more = true; ?>
    with cat : conferences
<?php global $more; $more = false;
    query_posts('category_name=conferences');
    the_content('Continue Reading');
    //this last line is only necessary if you have more posts
    //to show in your template and want to show their full bodies,
    //not excerpts
    $more = true; ?>

    Thanks a lot, this helped me as well.
