  I’m wanting my homepage to just include excerpts of my blog posts, rather than in their entirety. I’ve tried finding the settings to change this but am not having much luck. Any ideas of what I’m doing wrong?

  Many thanks :-)

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

  You can use
  a) the more tag

  b) excerpts

  Depending on the theme you have activated, 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.

  Some themes that use the excerpt instead of full post content:
