Switch to a different theme that does not automatically excerpt posts on the main page.

CSS editing cannot be used to chnage the way any themes functions here at WordPress.com. We cannot access and edit the php files referred to as all blogs wearing the same theme are using the same template.

Custom Design - Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. Read more about why here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

Fresh and Clean has an active excerpt box. You can enter the whole post into the excerpt box and the result will be the full post on the front page rather than the excerpt the theme is producing now. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/#creating-excerpts

Please read this and then stop giving WordPress.org advice that does not apply to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and opnly creates confusion. WordPress.com vs WordPress.org: The Differences

If this doesnt help
Go to page.php find this (<?php the_excerpt(""); ?>') and modify it (<?php the_content(""); ?>')

Should work but before modifying back up the file

Alternatively similar code is on index.php as well if page.php doesnt work out
it totally depends on what kind of theme u r using. for me page.php works

So clearly something have gone a miss here.

Perhaps this is something to do with your theme options but again this is just a guess work without seeing your blog and understanding what is the question is about.

Just hoping to permanently remove the "continue reading" link from my posts. I can't seem to find any reference to it in the existing coding. I have a VERY basic knowledge of CSS, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
