  Hi All,

  I currently have new posts publish to a blog page, and use the ‘more’ tag to make them shorter.

  Here’s a link to the blog page > http://jamesborrell.co.uk/blog/

  I also write custom excerpts and much prefer these, at the moment I manually put them on my home page which looks nicer but is time consuming…

  Is there a way of making the blog page display my custom excerpts? I searched a lot of sites for an answer, but it mostly comes up with .org information, which is a bit beyond me I’m afraid.

  Alternatively, is there a way of making my home page automatically retrieve each custom excerpt when I publish.

  Any thoughts much appreciated.

  Thanks,

  James

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

  There are a few themes here that will show your custom excerpts on the main blog page, but not all of them do. Take a look at this post by Panos which shows which support excerpts on the main post page.

  Thanks, I’ll have an experiment with some other themes.
