  My WordPress-hosted blog, etanker.wordpress.com, shows the entire blog post on the frontpage.
  But I would rather have only the first 5-10 lines displayed on the frontpage, and then having the reader to click a link directing to the entire post.
  I’m currently using a theme called Titan.
  Can this be done, perhaps by using another theme?

  Thanks in advance.

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

  kasvad.wordpress.com is no longer available.

  The authors have deleted this blog.

  hi Kasvad, I was just looking at this yesterday:

  Also, the Fresh and Clean theme does the excerpts automatically, that’s why I love it.

  Also use the More Tag – works on all themes: http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
