Hi, you need to wrap the text in a <span> tag inside the link - likeThe span has the other half of the button in it. Hope that helps.
<a href="#"><span>Read More</span></a>

Actually there is a third party module retrieving the articles to display. Editing the read more code within the each individual article is not possible. The code for the read more in the article looks like this when viewing article code
<hr id="system-readmore" />

Hi, I took another look. What 3rd party module is it? The system-readmore style in the template wraps the text in a span, you can see that in the other articles on your home page that aren't in the module, I also doubled checked the demo to be sure. That leads me to believe it's an issue with that particular module, maybe it's stripping out the code, or doesn't have the same coding structure as the template. Fixing it would most likely involve editing one of the core files of the module to add the span tag in - it's hard to say since it's not something we make.
You might want to see if the module has a forum / support. Or let me know what it is, I can take a look at it, there might be a simple fix. - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Its News Show Pro GK4 by Gavick. Their forum says it must be a rockettheme template issue.

I appreciate your help.
BTW do you think I could achieve this same look with a rocketheme module?

You just need to alter the code within the Gavick module so that it creates "read more's" in the same way as the RT template does.
As mentioned above, just change their code so that it wraps the read more in an extra <span> tag. - CMYKreative : Graphic Design , Web Design , Printing , Banner Ads , Branding and more.

- Thanks. Any clue where to start looking for the file to edit? Would it be a css file, xml file, helper file?

- Likely within one of the .php files. Try searching within your modules for that module and do a search for "readon" which is the class it has applied to the readmore within your module. Theny you just need to change that to include the new span tag.

If you want to PM me your FTP details I can take a look, it should be pretty easy if I can find the right file.
The issue is that our template style is different than the style they use. We wrap our links in a span tag to create the style and they don't. There's nothing wrong with either, just 2 different companies doing it a different way. - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
