  First time blogger and forum post: I tend to be somewhat long winded in my photo descriptions which I do not intend to change. That being said, is there a way to collapse the long description down to a paragraph followed by a “read more” tab that can expand the rest of the writing if someone so desires?

  Thank you all

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

  For example, if you click on january archives you can see the posts I have made and they are all set up in that exact format. One paragraph followed by “continue reading” tab. Thats what I would like to do on the main page.

  You can use the read-more tag to truncate the posts:

  Or you can switch to a theme that automatically displays excerpts on the main page. You can see all the themes in action here:
