  Hi

  I have seen blogs that each entry shows as the title and 1st few lines – like google results – now that my blog is lengthening I think it makes the page much tidier.

  I can’t see how to make this happen – can it and if you could tell me how – chnage theme/download widget/press some previously overlooked button, that wil be great

  Thanks

  Adrian

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  adriangarside,

  If you want to change themes, here is info about themes that make custom excerpts:

  The other option is to use the more tags.

  Pay close attention to the formatting issues.

  The blog connected to your name is not a wordpress.com blog. You can change it by following the instructions in here:
