Need help with blog Summary’s

hey guys this is my current blog im working on it’s the first wordpress one i’ve ever done

https://www.paulstuckle.com/?m=200703

and for instance when theres an article showing up and it’s summarized or cut short it puts in a […] at the end im looking to link that text to the article it’sself with

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">

and change the text from:
[…] to
[To read more click here]

pretty easy it should be just I cant find the place to change it, is it related or stored in the “the_excerpt” line?

i.e.

<div id="contentleft">
	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
	<?php the_excerpt(__('Read more '));?><div style="clear:both;"></div>

im using the vertigo-enhanced-20 theme by Brian Gardner.
