Using everything said here, this is what I did:
<?php if(!empty($post->post_excerpt))
{the_excerpt(); ?><div class="more"> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" class="title">(more...)</a> </div>
<?php
} else {
the_content();
} ?>
——
css
.more{
padding-right:20px;
text-align:right;
}

If the excerpt is blank, it displays the whole post. Otherwise display the excerpt and add “more”. And you can still use the “more” tag in the edit window to cut the text anywhere you want.

Please let me know if you see any problem I’m not seeing.
Thank you.
