I've spent 30 minutes on this and can't get it to work.

You need to add a

.more-link

class to your styles.css, but I can't get the color to override the default.

Here's some info from wordpress, hopefully someone else has a solution to it.

Thank you for trying to help, I have just joined

OK, this works for me...

In the Socrates theme files make these changes:

Open index.php and find the line that says:

<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

Change it to:

<?php the_content('<span class="moretext">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</span>'); ?>

Save the file and then open style.css

At the very bottom of the file add:

.moretext 	{ font-variant:small-caps; font-weight:bold; color:#000000; text-align:left; font-style:italic;}

Obviously you change the font variant, weight, color and alignment to suit your needs.

My changes resulted in the 'more' links looking like this on my site:
