No, I’m not using the manual excerpt fields — they’re blank. I just start typing my post, at some point hit the ‘more’ key, and keep typing. The “continue reading” button (really, it’s a “Read the rest of this entry” button) shows up on the main page for all the posts, as expected, but only for some of the posts on the monthly, category, and tag archive pages. Curious, right?! (My blog’s url: ggci.com/blog3.)
