  Hello,

  I want to make it so that when you go to my blog, you see the first 3 or 4 inches of a post then have to click “see more” to see the whole thing. My theme is “the journalist,” and I really like it, so I don’t want to change it. Is there an option to sort of hide the bulk of a post then give the reader a link/button to click on and see the whole thing?

  Thanks!

  Tess :-)

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

  Yes, it is very easy to do:

  But pay attention to the formatting issues.
