Post Summary
-
Ok, so i’ve seen that there is an option in “My Dashboard” and i marked it but it doesn’t seem to work. Doesn’t it reffer to summary your post and not show thae entire lenght of it? Because it doesn’t seem to work for me

I believe, although the information you have provided is very vague, that you may be referring to setting your rss feeds to “summary”. If so then go here -> Options -> Reading ->Scroll down the page to:
Syndication Feeds
For each article, show:
Full text
Summary (this is the one to select)
Note: If you use the <!–more–> feature, it will cut off posts in RSS feeds.
Now click “Update Options” to save because if you do not click “Update Options” the change will not “stick”.If this is not what you are referring to then please take the time to phrase your question very clearly.

OK so here’s a little example of what i want:
When I have a post of (let’s say) 50 lines, i want to show on the main page only 10 lines of that post and to have a little option (or whatever) which should say “click here to see the entire post”. -
Ahhh … that’s called “the more tag” and you don’t mean “summary” you mean “excerpt”. I’ll be back with specific instructions in just a minute. :)

When writing a lengthy post there is an option to having the whole post appear on the front page of your blog. You can break the text and have the remaining text appear on another page.
Only one theme at wordpress.com I know of the Hemingway theme always displays only excerpts from two posts side-by-side on the front page.
The Fadtastic theme shows one complete post on the front page and then only linked titles to the other posts.
Inserting the More Tag
In all other themes more tag must be added using either the visual rich text editor, the standard editor or hand coding it into each post you that you wish to break the text into smaller segments in.(1) If you are using the visual rich text editor then the icon number to use is #13 and you use it wherever you want the text break to occur.
(2) If you are using the standard editor click the [more] button wherever you want the text break to occur.
(3) If you are hand coding type in <!–more–> wherever you want the text break to occur.
(4) If you do not like the text that the theme is hardcoded to provide when you use the more tag you can change it by hand coding in
<!–more your text goes here more!–>.VOILA! Happy blogging. :)

Hi, is there any way to automate this? so that after say 80 words it will automatically cut it off?
The reason I want it to be auto is that we use a wordpress as an internal knowledgebase and not everybody here is that tech savvy.

Not if you’re using WordPress.com unless you switch to the Hemingway theme, which does this for all posts.
