Does anyone know why my read more button only displays a line across the article and doesn't seem to add the button?
Any help is appreciated.
Here is the link: http://www.mgtsnowboardcamp.com/blog/
Its the third entry down...there is just a grey line where the read more should be.
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
Don't know if this helps but there are some other posts also that don't have that readmore link available. Every post, that has been written by Leanne Pelosi, has that read more link. All those posts that are made by Joanna Magik are missing the read more link. All Joannas posts are very short and quite frankly don't need that read more link at all.

Well the link you provided is a blog view with all entries and they should have the read more link if the post more that just a couple of paragraphs long.
Check out the components settings:
Introtext: If this is set visible, on the blogpage it will show only the introtext and not the whole post.
Paragraphs for introtext: Choose how many paragraps are show as intro to the post
Show Read More when necessary: Enable this if you want to use the read more link when needed

Don't know if anyone is still following this but, try this fix:
I am not an expert in PHP, so perhaps if someone who is could check this. . . there may have been good reason the creator left it out. Basicly, use at your own risk.
Check your settings as mentioned above in the post. From your LyftenBloggie settings, under content, make sure intro text is turned off and read more is on.
Then find the file: components -> com_lyftenbloffie -> addons -> themes -> anemoi -> entries.php
Open up that file. Line 57ish find
<?php echo $entry->text; ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
immediately after that add:
<?php if($entry->readmore) : ?>
<p class="read-more"><a href="/<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?view=entry'.$entry->archive.'&id='. $entry->slug ); ?>"><?php echo JText::_('READ MORE'); ?></a></p>
<?php endif; ?>
Save, upload the file back to where you found it. It is a good practice to rename the original file instead of replacing it, just in case something goes bad.
Find a longish blog entry, add a read more link at the top and save the blog entry. The link should be there now. You can adjust the style of the actual link by going to:
components -> com_lyftenbloffie -> addons -> themes -> anemoi -> CSS -> style.css
and find on line 59ish
#lyftenbloggie .blogcontent .read-more {float: right; margin-right: 10px}
and changing that line to: (add a "p" before ".read-more")
#lyftenbloggie .blogcontent p.read-more {... specify text size, color, ect. here ...}
there are a couple of other CSS modifiers on the lines immediately following this line. You can play with those if you want to do more stuff.
Again, save, upload to where you found the file.
Hope this helps. Cheers

[Javier Delgado 13 Mar 2010 07:54:05]i had to change to this, so the link work correctly
<p class="read-more"><a href="/<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_lyftenbloggie&view=entry'.$entry->archive.'&id='. $entry->slug ); ?>"><?php echo JText::_('READ MORE'); ?></a></p>
good look<p class="read-more"><a href="/<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?view=entry'.$entry->archive.'&id='. $entry->slug ); ?>"><?php echo JText::_('READ MORE'); ?></a></p>
