styleing the more link/ title

You’re passing wrong arguments into get_the_title(). It only accept the post ID of the title you want to fetch. If it’s used inside the loop, the ID does not need to be passed into the function.

What quotes are you referring to?

To style the title, you’ll need to put the title between html tags. For example:

<?php the_content('<br />continue reading <span class="more-title">' . get_the_title() . '</span>'); ?>

.more-title {
	color: #000;
}

Thanks for the help Joseph – I had the concatenation wrong. I wanted to put quotes around the title but not the entire link o it would look like this: continue reading “Web Designer Depot Celebrates 2 years with a giveaway”

So I wanted to get quotes around the actual title and not the continue reading part

Ok – I got this to work <?php the_content('<br />continue reading <span class="title-link">&ldquo;'. get_the_title() .'&rdquo;</span>'); ?>
Is this correct or should I do something else – I want to make sure that it’s correct even though it works at this point. you can see the result here (look at the second post)

Review Customizing_the_Read_More.

That’s correct, however, if you want it in a new paragraph, you should remove <br /> and use the following filter:

add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'my_more_link' );
function my_more_link($link) {
	return "<p>$link</p>";
}
