 But would it be that big a thing to add it? If I do a search the results
 return summaries with read more tags, so the code is already in the theme.
 I'm fairly technical but it seems a lot of work for each one of us to
 create a child theme and files when the basic template could add a couple
 of lines of code and fix the confusion.
