  Hi there,

  I’ve just created a small website with the EDIN theme (great theme btw!), and I would like to add a “button minimal” on the front page linking to another page of the site.

  I understand that I have to type some code in the text editor but what exactly?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi Shawna,

  Actually I have another question: How do I reduce the number of lines of text under the 3 featured pages? Like 3 or 4 lines max. In my opinion too much text is displayed under the pictures.

  Thanks again,
  Xavier

  Hi there!

  You can do this using the “Read More” tag. Please note that this will also affect how your posts are displayed in the Reader and the email subscriptions sent to your followers. Here’s some more info on the tag and how to use it:

  Hi again,

  Thanks for the link, but they say it doesn’t work with pages… and I use pages, not posts. If it’s not possible then never mind. It’s not a drama. I am already amazed that WP has made Edin free of charge. This is truly a great theme.

  Bye,
  Xavier

  Sorry about that! I didn’t realize they were Pages and not Posts. In order to shorten the blurb for your Pages, you just need to manually add an excerpt. You can do this through the page editor.

  If you don’t see the Excerpt module in your editor, scroll back up the top and click on Screen Options in the upper right corner. Check the box next to “Excerpt” and scroll back down.

  I’m so glad you like Edin! I think it’s a great theme. So clean and modern looking. :)

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!

  Great, it works! Thanks for your kind support. Please congratulate the designers of this theme for me. It’s a “pearl” really.
