I must be doing something wrong as I have done as you instructed with no punctuations just the first letter capitalized.  However I did go into the node.module file and found the string that defines &quot;Read more&quot; and replaced it, and now my new text appears.  I guess there is always a work around.<br>

    &quot;Read more&quot; is not the same as &quot;Read more?&quot; I believe the exact

    then on the right, put what you want to appear. Refresh page.

                  @Earnie, I looked at the api and I dont&#39; understand if
