  Hi!

  I have the Hero theme and there is a featured content slider at the top of the front page. The problem is that the preview text of the featured post is the beginning of it. Is there a way to choose what part of the post to be the preview?

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

  There is no way to control what’s displayed except of course that it will be an excerpt from the beginning of the post.

  Ok thanks!

  I guess I’ll just change the display of my posts :).

  The above reply is incorrect: on themes that normally display the beginning of each post, you replace this auto-excerpt with your own by entering text in the Excerpt module of the post editor.
  If you’re not seeing the Excerpt module while editing a post, click Screen Options (top right) to activate it.

  Ohhh thanks I didn’t even think to check the screen options!
