Followed the link to the tutorial video ("custom read more text"), but my installation (v. 2.0.39) differs from what is shown. Post Grid > Skin & Layout > (Content Layout) Edit: there is no UI to change the "Read More..." text; only CSS and CSS Hover exist. How do I customize that text please?



It's pretty simple.
In the Layout Editor, open the General options tab. This is where the options are for what goes into the display.
When you select an option such as 'Title with Link', it will appear on the right side of the screen with all of the selected options for the display.
There you can edit and/or delete pre-selected options.

Never mind, finally got this to work through some combination of choosing the layout, hitting Save Changes and/or Publish at the right moment, and/or other unknown magic.
