 * I am trying to edit the end of the excerpt the says: “Continue Reading” to something
   like “Read Full Article”.
 * The site is a customized version of twentyten theme and can be seen at [http://www.buenolisto.com/news/](http://www.buenolisto.com/news/)
 * I have found two places in the loop.php file (Line 117 and Line 145) and tried
   to make the changes there, but they do not affect the output.
 * Is there another place I should be editing this info. Any help would be greatly
   appreciated.
 * I can provide more code should you need it to diagnose. Thanks in advance.

 * for the excerpts:
 * functions.php (line 240)
 *     ```
       function twentyten_continue_reading_link() {
       	return ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) . '</a>';
       }
       ```
