To achieve this recipe, the first step is to edit your posts and create custom fields. Give them custom_more as a key, and the text to display as a value.

Once done, edit your index.php file (As well as category.php, search.php, etc) and find a line similar to this:

the_content("Read more");

Simply replace it with this code:

<?php $custommore = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'custom_more', true); ?>
<?php if (!$custommore) { $custommore = 'Read More &raquo;'; } ?>
<?php the_content($custommore); ?>

That's all. Now, if you create a custom field named custom_more, its value will be displayed instead of the classic "Read more" link.
