  Hi, I have my front page setup to show my latest posts, and this is fine. However, I would prefer to show summaries and then have a “read more” button at the end, so that once the front page opens up, you can see numerous posts right away, instead of having to scroll all the way to the end of the first post (some of my posts are very long). Can someone help me with this, I have tried to find an answer in the forums, and now I’m just more confused! Thank you.

  Hi Carmen,

  You can use the More Tag to do this. Basically, you can write the part of your post that you want to have on the front page, and then you can add the more tag and write the rest of your post below it. Your visitors will see just that first excerpt and a link they can click to read the rest of the post.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

  Ok I’ll have to try that, thank you.

  But can I go back and do this with my prior posts, or I can only do this going forward on new posts?

  Hi Carmen,

  Yep, you go back and edit your prior posts to add that more tag. After you update the post with that tag, you’ll see the change on your front page.

  Just let me know if I can do anything more to help!
