 * I’m trying to customize the “Continue reading [post name]” link by replacing 
   it with an image, but, whatever I do, it’s not functioning.
 * My blog is [http://consciencia.blog.br](http://consciencia.blog.br) and its theme
   is Lightword.

 * esmi, I already tried this, but the only thing I’ve got was a “[http://consciencia.blog.br/wp-content/themes/lightword&#8221](http://consciencia.blog.br/wp-content/themes/lightword&#8221);
   written on the top of each post and no image.
