that darm read more …

i know there are a bunch of post already discussed but i have tried those solutions with no luck. i am using the carrington theme and my code in content.php looks like this

<div id="post-content-<?php the_ID() ?>" <?php post_class('full'); ?>>

	<h1 class="entry-title full-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent link to <?php the_title_attribute() ?>" rel="bookmark" rev="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h1>

	<div class="entry-content full-content">
<?php
		global $more;
		$more = 0;
		the_content(__('(more...)'));
		$args = array(
			'before' => '<p class="pages-link">'. __('Pages: ', 'carrington-blog'),
			'after' => "</p>\n",
			'next_or_number' => 'number'
		);
		wp_link_pages($args);
?>
		<div class="clear"></div>
	</div><!-- .entry-content-->

	<p class="filed categories alt-font tight"><?php printf(__('', 'carrington-blog'), get_the_category_list(', ')); ?></p>

i have had success with the_excerpt but there is no link to read more with that so i am trying the_content. i have placed the <!–more–> tag in the post and it is displayed as though it were text.
