Short posts on main page
-
Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to make my posts appear short on the main page, as just an excerpt. The idea is to then click on them to get the full article and make the homepage a bit more user friendly. I’ve already inserted the excerpt into the box on the post page, and have also ticked the option under the “reading settings” for showing a summary but it’s not working. Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We need a link to your blog whenever you ask a question in these forums.
Just a guess, but this may help:
The excerpt function is available in only some themes:

The summary feature is for how your RSS goes out.
You could use the more tag:

Hi! I hadn’t realised my name didn’t link to the blog. Thank you though you’ve solved my problem as the more tag was what I was looking for. That’s perfect! :-)
