  Quite often, I make big long winded posts on my blog that take up the whole page.

  Is there any way to set it so that I can just have the title and the first few sentences of the post shown, and readers can then select “read more”, or something to that effect, to view the rest of the post?

  Thanks in advance.

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

  There are ‘excerpt’ designed for the problem you are facing. It’ll only show you a summory of your entire post. However, I’m not sure if every theme uses excerpts. One that I know of that does, is the Hemingway theme.

  It appears that my theme doesn’t. Anything I can about this other than change theme? Other than this issue I’m very happy with how the theme looks…
