Styling Read More Button on Blogger

Having a read-more option in your posts can highly encourage your readers’ click-throughs and help you track your most popular entries. Adding read-more button is more than easy, read my tutorial here: How to Insert Read More Option on Blogger and WordPress?


Default Blogger styling of read-more button can look a bit boring and unnoticeable tho, so in order to take the most out of this new option in your posts, I created a quick styling update for you all. Simply go to CUSTOMIZE->ADVANCED->ADD CSS and paste in this code:

.jump-link {
 text-transform: uppercase;
 margin: 0 auto;
 font-size: 14px;
 letter-spacing: 2px;
 text-align: center;
 padding-top: 30px;
}

.jump-link a {
 border: 1px solid;
 padding: 10px;
}

The above code will render your read more link as this:

It looks way more professional, doesn’t it? You can also change the text of the read more >> into anything you’d like! Simply go to LAYOUT-> Select Edit on Blog widget-> find an option to change Read More text.

Simple as that!

Let me know if you give this a try friends!
