How to create snippets/previews
-
I’ve been trying to figure out how to create snippets or previews of my posts. I want a page that lists chronologically previews of my posts for a certain topic such as motivation.
ex.

I want this page to list each post as a snippet that you can open in a new window if desired.Theme: Twenty Twelve
Thanks,

If you want to display only post excerpts on the front page or the blogs page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Please Read Go Back and Edit Posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts and be sure to click Update to publish the after your editing.
For other ways to split content see > https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/

Hey timethief thank you!
I tried posting this code and it just comes out as plaintext.
If you check the link again you can see it.Motivation is a page, and the links on it are posts.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
