|
|
Hello Again,
Getting busy today.
Where/How can I edit the word "More" on my article excerpt on the front page. It is not obvious enough as it is. I have had that feedback from readers.
I would like to make it bigger or change the words to something like "Read the remainder of this article here."
I am loving Blog Harbor by the way. First blog and really enjoying discovering it all.
Adam

You'll need to modify the category template, which controls what the list of articles looks like in category view.
To modify the category template: - Login to your Blog Admin Control Panel through the Login page.
- Click on the Look and Feel tab, then the Templates subtab.
- Now you see a list of the Templates you can customize. We are going to customize the category template, so click Edit in the row that begins with the word category.
- Now you'll be on a page listing the current category templates (there will probably be only one). Go all the way to the bottom of the page and click the Customize button.
- Click the Go button to Copy the Standard template to the staging area. You'll come to the page where you can customize the category template.
Look at the Staging Template Content box, the lower box, and look for this code:
Code: | <div class="articleBody">
{{if excerpt}}
{{excerpt}} <span class="articleMore"><a href="{{view_url}}" align="right" border="0" width="13" height="13">more</a> <strong>»</strong></span>
{{else}}
{{body}}
{{/if}}
</div> <!-- articleBody --> |
Change it to this:
Code: | <div class="articleBody">
{{if excerpt}}
{{excerpt}} <span class="articleMore"><a href="{{view_url}}" align="right" border="0" width="13" height="13">Read the remainder of this article here.</a> <strong>»</strong></span>
{{else}}
{{body}}
{{/if}}
</div> <!-- articleBody --> |
Click the Save and Activate button at the bottom of the page, and your articles with excerpts will all display Read the remainder of this article here. instead of more when listed in category view.

Glad to hear it. Tell your friends. |
