The excerpts displayed on the front page are supplied by the template and we cannot edit either templates or themes. > Themes Options provides two choices you can make for front page display:
Single Column, with full post content
Two Columns, with excerpts and featured images -
@cc101classes: That’s standard behavior in all themes that display auto excerpts on the main page: all HTML is stripped out, so you get plain text only – no bold or italics, no line or paragraph breaks, no links, no images etc. To change this you need to create custom excerpts: add content in the Excerpt module of the post editor and use the right coding to format it.
If you’re not seeing the Excerpt module while on the post editor screen, click Screen Options (top right) to enable it. -
If you choose “Two Columns, with excerpts and featured images” you can use a workaround to overide the excerpt function. The theme is behaving exactly the way it is designed to behave, which is excerpts only on the front page of the blog but it does have an active excerpt box below the post editor, so you can control the length of the excerpt displayed. This is the workaround you can use to override excerpt display on the front page.
You compose your whole post first and before you publish it you switch to the HTML (Text) editor, copy the code, paste it into the Excerpt box, and publish the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/#creating-excerpts This will have to be done on every post.

Hello, All:
I am using Theme 2011, and want to simply Post, utilizing the Title as ‘link’ (to post), while using the Excerpt function; what this has done, is to deprive the ‘post page’ of a workable Title Link – in fact, the Title is never listed if I have used Excerpt for the ‘read more’ feature link.
How can I show both the Title (as link), and maintain my secondary page at the same time?
