  I would like my posts to only show a preview of their content (as they often tend to be rather long) so that each page of my blog doesn’t scroll on and on forever. It would ideally be a sentence or two then have a link that says “continue reading …” / I see that some themes have this built into their aesthetic, but when I chose one such theme (the Fictive theme), this didn’t happen to my posts — they weren’t set in preview form, but instead showed the entire post. This leads me to believe there is a setting to turn this feature on and off.

  For a sample of what I mean, please visit http://www.naropablog.com … thanks for your help!

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