  Hi there,

  I just startet a blog, actually my first one, hostet for free here at wordpress.

  When I add a post, I would only like to add a short summary of the whole issue, or just some of the first lines, with the option of further reading, when the reder is interested, how do I manage this?

  thanks in advance, André

  I like the easy questions!

  In the icons above the post window there’s one that says “more”.

  Put the cursor where you want to break the post and click that button.

  There’s more information in the FAQ

  I believe this post maybe of help to you. It explains the use of the <!--more-->' tag, the <!–nextpage–>` and the optional excerpt field. http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=2322&replies=27#post-41078
