You can style it however you like using CSS. In Premium just add your CSS to the Custom CSS editor. In Basic, you would need to modify style.css.

.more-link { 
	clear: both;
	text-align: center;
	display: block;
	margin: 12px 0 0;
	padding: 0px 8px;
	font-size: 11px;
	line-height: 20px;
	float: right;
	}

Thanks. Don't know if I can accomplish, but will give it a try. Thanks, too, for your themes, quite good for my needs (a literary magazine at blipmagazine.net). Still using BASIC at the present, but I bought Premium and am still in the planning stages with that.

Cheers--

went all through style.css in Mag Basic looking for Read More style, or .more-link { but couldn't find. There's only this:

.readmore {
color: #cc0000;
}

That readmore style is deprecated. It will be deleted in the next release.

What you are looking for is around line 627:

#leftcontent a.more-link {
	clear: both;
	width: 60px;
	text-align: center;
	display: block;
	color: #fff;
	margin: 12px 0;
	background: #aaa;
	padding: 0px 8px;
	font-size: 11px;
	line-height: 20px;
	}
 
	#leftcontent a:hover.more-link {
		text-decoration: none;
		background: #666;
		}

Thanks. Sorry, it seems I am as dumb as a stick when it comes to this. In other areas of human knowledge, however, I am above average. OK, maybe equal to average. Almost.

Cheers--
