  Hi, does anyone know if posts on the homepage can be compressed to make a ‘continue reading…’ button? Does anyone know how to make the featured image show on the homepage? Thanks!

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

  Hello,

  What you are looking for is excerpts!
  Excerpts are optional hand-crafted summaries of your content. They can be used to shorten your blog posts so that only part of the entry — usually the introduction or a summary of the post — is displayed, instead of the entire entry. Using excerpts is completely optional.

  Depending on the theme, excerpts you assign may be displayed on your homepage, RSS feed, or archives page. Your theme will also determine whether or not your excerpt is followed by a link that points readers to the full-length post.

  Creating excerpts
  The Excerpt module can be found to the right of the post editor, under More Options with some other publishing options. To add your text in this field, click More Options then enter text into the Excerpt box. When ready, publish your post.

  Note that the excerpt feature only works with certain themes. If your theme does not support excerpts, you can use the More tag instead.

  Please visit this link for further details on using excerpts.

  I hope this helps, in case if you need further assistance please feel free to reply to this thread.
