  On my blog I have used Edin theme, I have created a Menu with two areas Food and Fitness. Under each of these I have created categories eg Food – Breakfast, Lunch, Evening Meal, Snacks. When you click onto one of these categories you just see all the posts (in full) I have made with that category tagged to them. Can I make it so that if you click on say ‘breakfast’ you see a list of all the breakfast recipes instead of having to scroll down through them all to find what you want? It’d be easier for people to navigate to what they want.

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

  Hi,
  By the way I love your blog, all those recipes look really good.

  Maybe you can try of these two approaches:

  – Instead of having categories in your menu, you can create pages for Breakfast, Snacks, etc. In these pages you can insert a summary of all your recipes (only titles) and link them to the content in your blog. You’ll see in the editor that whenever you insert a link you get to choose “link to existing content” where you’ll see links to your posts. You could also insert images instead of titles and also link those images to your post.

  – Another way to cut the display of your posts is by using the “more tag”. For this you’ll have to go to each recipe and in the editor look for the option “Insert more tag” (it’s next to the unlink icon) You can insert this tag after a brief description or the first lines of your recipes. This way it will only display the text before the “More tag” and will give the user with an option to “Read more”.
  Hope this helps.
