  Hello,
  i need some help on writing:

  I want to make a blog that shows only the summary of the post. Like, when i write a post, it will show only the first 40 characters, for example.

  I tried the Options, Reading, and checking the Show Summary to articles radiobutton, but it doesn’t work. I believe there is a difference between article and post. ;b

  anyway: does anybody know how do i do it?

  thanks!

  There are also a couple of templates that do that automatically, but I can’t recall which ones.
