  I got to http://mervbartist.wordpress.com/ and it lists an abbreviation of a blog article then immediately under it the article itself?

  Not sure what is wrong here – I’m new to all this

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

  The two posts have separate ID numbers. Go to posts > all posts in your dashboard and see if there are two with that name. I think you will find that there are. Delete the one that just has the single paragraph (should be the top one on the list).

  OK thanks for that, but how do I get a single paragraph on the home page that links to the full article – like Part 1 below

  You are referring to splitting content. The most common way to do this so only the beginnings of posts display on your front page is to insert “the more tag” into your posts.
