  My first blogpost on Einstein seems to display twice on the homepage and I’m not sure why and how to change it so that it only appears once like the second blogpost

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

  Note the post slug is not the same as the title.

  Thank you for the response! i think it was because i had formatted the ‘Einstein’ post as a quote and it was displaying it twice for that reason! i’ve made changed and just kept it to standard formatting :) thanks

  thank you so much! i was also wondering whether by chance you knew how i could change the description of each blog post on the homepage? so that where it says ‘continue reading’ i can have a snapshot before. many thanks :)

  The theme can only operate as it’s designed to operate and that’s described here > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ever-after/

  You can upload images into posts and pages and you can insert “the more tag” to split post content. When displayed the post excerpt can contain the image and the text you choose to display followed by a “read more” link. To split content in a post insert “the more tag”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  Yes: Ever After displays your latest Quote or Status format post in the footer area.

  The theme can only operate as it’s designed to operate and that’s described here > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ever-after/

  Only it’s not described thoroughly, the theme doesn’t operate the way timethief suggests, and the description doesn’t answer your question.

  how i could change the description of each blog post on the homepage? so that where it says ‘continue reading’ i can have a snapshot before.

  What do you mean by “snapshot”? A decoration of the “continue reading” link, or an image that is part of the actual content of the post?
