  On the home page, I want to show more words in my posts’ previews, so that more of the beginning of the post is shown before people have to click to a separate page.

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

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately the length of the preview cannot be adjusted when it is built in to themes like with Expound. If you find a theme which does not automatically create an excerpt like this, you can use the More tag to control just how much of a preview your site gets. You can read about the More tag right here:

  Not a problem at all!

  Let me know if you need anything else, and in the mean time have a great week.
