Post box
-
I want my recent posts on my front page to only show a certain number of lines, then I would like readers to have to click to view the entire post. I have looked through every setting and cannot find if and where I can change this. Can anyone help?

Hi Sharky30:
There’s an easy command to make this possible, called More. You can read all about how it works and how to use it here.

@sharky30:
You can also make use of excerpts. When creating a post, type in a few lines (a teaser, perhaps?) into the excerpt field.Then in wp-admin, goto: Settings -> Reading Settings and change “For each article in a feed, show” to “Summary”
Now all your posts show excerpts instead of the full text. :-)

@sterex:
a) Only a few themes support excerpts on the blog front – see here:
