1) The more tag <!--more--> whenever I use it and I click on the "Read More" link to read more I get [More:] on the new page where I placed the <!--more--> tag. How do I get rid of this, it's very annoying.

Use the NT! button to insert at <!-- noteaser --> tag right after the <!--more--> tag. This will prevent the [More:] from showing up in the expanded article.

However, it'll also prevent the teaser from showing up (which may or may not be desirable. If you want to keep the teaser in the expanded article just enter it before AND after the <!--more--><!--noteaser-->

That's an incredibly long winded way to do it. A much simpler way to do it is to crack open your skins/yourskinname/_main.php in your favourite editor and replace the bit that says:

<?php $Item->content(); ?>

With this:

<?php $Item->content('','',''More',''); ?>

Replace 'More' with whatever you want the more link to be. And they're not one " they're two '

More info than you wanted! Here's what you can control through the content() function that Graham pointed you to.

(The 3rd item is the one that changes the [more:] text that you find annoying. Note: It's meant as a place-holder, so that readers kinda know where they left off, so they don't get lost. "Why am I having to re-read stuff that I've already read? ... Oh ... Here I go, "more" must be the point where I read to".)

I changed mine to a " - - ", just to have something indicate the take-off point, but not be confusing or obtrusive.

To each his own.
