  Hi, I am using Misty Lake as my website template and want to know if there is a way to show more than one blog post on my blog page. Currently it just shows my latest post and you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on a link to see the prior post, and so on and so on. Is there a way to have it show a window of information about each post so a reader can see all the options at once, or at least the last 4 or five?

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

  Is there a way to make each post size smaller so that you can see 4 or 5 without having to scroll down?

  Kim, I suggest using the More Tag in order to truncate your posts precisely where you’d like.

  Let me know how that works out for you! Thanks.

  Thank you robyn, I see that the “more tag” does not work in Pages. Does this mean that I can only truncate new posts?

  Yes, you’re right — More Tags are only for Posts. You can truncate new posts, and go back to edit older ones, if you wish.

  If you wanted to shorten a page, you could always use this function:

  Hope this helps!
