  I have a WP hosted blog that doesn’t seem to have as much flexibility as my other, full-blown non-WP blog hosted. I can’t edit the stylesheets so how/where do input “the_excerpt()” so that the posts just show an excerpt (with a “read more” link)

  In the editor when you are writing your post, simply use the “read more” icon in the tool bar.

  And also make sure and read this one as well as it will end up keeping you out of “more trouble”.

  There is also this screencast FAQ that shows how to use excerpts.
