    Hey,

    I'm trying to add read more links to the blog post excerpts on the home page, just like in theme demo. It has this nice "continue reading" button that gets red when you hover over it. I can't find it anywhere in the theme setup file.

    Thanks in advance.

    ok I realize now it was a stupid question. I had the Genesis > Content Archives >Entry Excerpts setting on. I just switched it to Genesis > Content Archives >Entry content and set the limit and the button is there now.
