  I am using the Twenty Twelve theme, but have noticed that it displays each new post in full. I would like to have a format that displays the first paragraph of a post with a ‘continue reading’ link option. IS this possible within the Twenty Twelve theme or will I need to change themes? I really like the 20:12 theme, so am hoping I don’t have to switch. Thanks!

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

  Hello there! No problem :)

  There are a couple options to choose from:

  While creating your post, you can choose where you want your text to be truncated with a Read More link. Here are the instructions on how to set that up:

  You could also choose an excerpt from any part of your Post’s text appear on your blog page. Here is information about creating excerpts:

  I hope this helps! Best wishes to you.
