Hi - my blog archive page is acting funky. I have it set up to display the category blog and I am having the following two anomalies:
My featured image thumbnails on the overview page are getting cut. I did not change, as far as I know, any css regarding this display
The other issue, my "read more" much like the demo is not displaying automatically
Here is the offending page: http://www.dataccount.com/category/blog/
Thanks for your help

Hi,
1.) Go to css folder then edit the style that you are currently using then add this at the very bottom.
.framed_one_fourth {
width: 208px!important;
}2.) Open template-blog.php and find this code
the_content(__('Read more »','avisio')); ?>
Replace it with this
the_content('Read more...'); ?>
You need to use <!-- more --> on your post editor to designate the excerpt.
Regards,
Ismael

Okay - issue one fixed, the featured images on the blog summary page are displaying correctly and not getting chopped. The other issue is still an issue. I made the changes as instructed and added the comment in the blog post itself indicate the excerpt, but no go.
I want to be able to control where the excerpt will occur and I want the read more button as displayed in the demo. Right now, I only have an elipsis and it isn't even clickable.
Any other suggestions?
Try following - in replace
the_content(__('Read more »','avisio')); ?>with:
the_excerpt();
echo "<a href='".get_permalink()."' class='more-link'>".__('Read more','avisio')."</a>";
?>You can now use the excerpt textarea/option field to control the content of the excerpt and the read more button should be displayed properly.
