  Hey all, I don’t know what to do. I want to preserve the look of my blog, and I want the whole post to display on the archive pages. In this respect, I like 2010, but the thing I don’t like about 2010 is that when you put the full post into the exerpt, there is a continue reading link at the bottom of the post. This is probably done because the majority of people don’t use the exerpt function to get the full post displayed on the category pages as I do. I like the fact that the exerpt works, but I don’t want my users to think that there is more to the post when there actually isn’t. I do like the fact that in INove, the links to the children pages are displayed on the parent page, not as part of the navigation. One more thing when suggesting a theme for me, in INove, there is one problem that I have, the navigation menu for my sight looks something like this, the pages might not be in the right order, but you’ll get the idea. Home, audio, about, contact me, links, and welcome. Because the welcome page is my home page, I don’t want this displaying in the site navigation twice. I know that’s a lot of criteria, and you’ll probably say go test each theme yourself, but I probably spend way more time as it is on my site already. One last note, if any CSS code is required, please include that so that I know what I’m doing, as I only know a little bit of html.

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

  Can I have a suggestion please? I spend more time working on the site than I probably should already, and I am not getting very far.

  For the welcome/home page tab issue, you need to create a custom menu and then just include the pages that you want to be in the navigation.

  Menus

  As far as the excerpt “read more” link in the categories/archives pages in 2010 it can be hidden, but a word of warning!!!!! The below CSS MIGHT kill ALL read more links in your entire site, so if you incorporate thi, and then later decide to start using the read move link in posts, this might have to be removed from the CSS.

  .entry-summary a {
  display:none;
  }

  And actually let’s change that code a little an get it to apply to categories and archives pages only.

  .category .entry-summary a, .archive .entry-summary a {
  display:none;
  }
