  Hi there,

  You can create an excerpt for each post on your home page by placing a More Tag at the point you wish for the “read more” link to appear. Further information on the More Tag, including steps to add one, can be found here:

  Another option is for you to create a custom excerpt:

  Excerpts

  Take a look through the above documentation and let me know if that helps out. :)

  Oh no! It’s not automatic? That’s really disappointing!

  Or is it just this template?

  Themes vary, with some automatically displaying a full post and some displaying an excerpt on the posts page.

  It’s worth noting that we’re currently working on a new feature named Content Options that will enable you to choose whether a theme displays a full post or an excerpt by default. Keep an eye out on the WordPress.com blog for its announcement!

  In the meantime, the More Tag and custom excerpt option will give you control on a post by post basis.
