  • Excellent, what I wanted.

    This did exactly want I wanted in a clean & simple way. I even figured out how to View Source code of the page in order to identify the controlling tag attributes of the Read More button, then, stylize the button via Additional CSS. So, I put a blue border around it. Happy.
