<style>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
span.fullpost {display:inline;}
<b:else/>
span.fullpost {display:none;}
</b:if>
</style>
- Now find this code <data:post.body/>
You can replace the text in red with anything you like, e.g: Continue Reading, Keep Reading<!--READ-MORE-STARTS--><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'><div style="text-align: right;">Read More ->></div></a>
</b:if><!--READ-MORE-STOPS-->
If you want to shift the "Read More->>" text to the extreme-left side, use this code:
<!--READ-MORE-STARTS-->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'>
<div style="text-align: left;">Read More ->></div></a>
</b:if>
<!--READ-MORE-STOPS-->
- Save your template and you are Done!
