What is the best way to set up excerpt only displaying along with a read more link in Wordpress?
I cant figure out what to do for this. I used to never want it but now that I'm concentrating on the design of my blog it is pretty important for me to have read more links to make everything look better. Do I have to edit a theme? I'm currently using a slightly customized version of Colourise.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I don't believe this is possible without a plugin/widget. Here is a widget that will allow you to add custom excerpts to pages.

I have installed that but it does not change my theme so it displays excerpts. I am looking to get Wordpress to display the read more link...I have excerpts already set up, just can't get them to be used by Wordpress.
What version of wordpress are you using? I might be able to help you better if you link me to your blog (can send me a private message) if you feel comfortable doing so.
I will get your blog going, I have other things that you can try.
