How To Reduce The Size Of Posts Shown On Blog...

[bad_bob00]

Hi there,

On my blog whenever I make a post it is shown full length on my blog. What I want is that the blog shows a paragraph or so, and allows the reader to click the post title to be able to read the article in full.

Does anyone know how this is done?

I looked in Wordpress under the options but couldn't really find anything.


Would appreciate any help :)

Thanks. Matt

when you write the post there is a button saying read more, click that anywhere on the post you would like it to appear, or use <!--more--> under code (not Visual) when you write

you can use the more tag or use optional excerpts, the second gives you more control but requires you to use the_excerpt instead of the_content in your theme.
