# Altering the (more…) function…

 * I don’t know if this fite in design or not, being that it is a coding thing, 
   but it does have to do with altering the “look” of the site, so here I am.
    1.
   I was wondering why there are five calls to the (more…) text in the WP code —
   one in “class-smarty.php” and 4 in “template-functions.php.” It seems like the
   template-functions file is the only one that matters, but tell me if I’m wrong.
   Also, I can’t figure out why the template-functions file contains 4 calls to 
   the (more…) text. (Forgive my PHP ignorance here.) 2. Is it possible to enter`
   <?php the_title(); ?>` into the (more…) text? I’d love to change mine to say 
   _Continue reading “Blog Title”_. Thanks, Tim

 * Tim,
    Are you searching the forums before you post? Just Asking… As far as your
   second question goes please see [ Here ](http://wordpress.org/support/10/1904)
   or do a serch for “extended more” or “read more hack”.

 * Oh, ok, thanks… Yeah, I searched, but my string didn’t come up with anything 
   that helped. Thanks for the link.
