  I’m getting in to this blogging lark, however, one thing frustrates me. I can’t master uploading summary or intro of a post on the front page and then the fuller article as a click through.

  I just have the whole thing on the home page.

  Can someone illuminate me.

  If you’re using the visual editor, you’ve got an icon that will truncate a post and have the main body of it over a clickthrough; the button is on top of the text box when you’re writing a post, towards the right, and it looks like a page with a dotted line dividing it. You can use the More tag in the HTML editor, if you know how to do that, but I find the visual editor adequate for this. Place the cursor where you want the break to be and click the icon.

  If you use the visual rich text editor the icon number to insert a “more” tag and create a break in text is number 13. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/15/what-do-all-the-icons-mean/
  If you’re using the standard editor the button says “more”.

  And please put your videos after the more tag. :)

  That really should be in the FAQs on those video instructions.
