When I use the Query Post Plugin to display the most recent post with the_excerpt option selected, the widget displays the excerpt but does not show the "Continue reading" link. If I select 'the_content' it simply displays the whole article.
I want to use Query Post to show the excerpt of my latest article and display the "Continue reading" link after the excerpt. Am I missing something?

Sorry, Justin.
That didn't do it. Still getting no "Continue Reading" link with the excerpt and the content is just displaying the whole post.

Yeah, I mean when you look at the code in query-posts.php the code is there after the_content to get the more link. Why would the widget not pull it up like a posts page?

This problem really vexed me, and I really became a premium member hoping to find the answer.
To fix the problem, I found:
query_posts( $args );
and immediately after I inserted this:
global $more;
// set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post
$more = 0;
Works for me now.
I hope that helps someone find the answer a lot faster than I was able to come up with it.
Cheers.
