  On the Big Brother theme, how can I go in the HTML file (where is it?) and change it so that only excerpts are shown on home page?

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

  Hi there,

  The Big Brother theme doesn’t include an option to display only excerpts on the home page. Theme files also can’t be edited here at WordPress.com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#editing-themes

  Instead, you can use the More Tag to show only excerpts on the home page. You can add that tag to each post, and only the text above the tag will be displayed on the home page. Readers will have to click through to read the rest of the post.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
