  Hi there, I’m not quite sure what you mean by “concise archive mode” – could you explain a bit more what you mean, or show me an example? Could you also confirm that this site running Reddle is the site you’re referring to?

  If you’re talking about displaying a short excerpt of a post on the blog page instead of the full post, take a look at this guide to using the More tag:

  Just let me know if this is what you’re after, or if you need further help.

  Merci!

  I think the reference is to this:

  Multiple Archive Styles
  You can choose to display your archives in either the “detail” or “concise” format. The “detail” format is the standard blog layout. The “concise” format displays only the title and the first 20 words from each post so that your readers may view your posts at a glance. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/chateau/

  Thanks for that, timethief!

  It looks like you’ve already selected the “concise” format under Appearance > Theme Options:

  You can see it in action on your archives pages, such as this one for the year 2014:

  Just let us know if you still need help.

  Helping you is a switch isn’t it? But support on peer support forums is a team effort so you’re certainly welcome. Thank you for all the times you helped me answer questions and I hope you have a good day. :)
