    I'm having trouble deciding whether or not I should have my posts in excerpt format on the homepage of my blog. I don't know if there's pros or cons to this, so could anybody help? :confused:

    Personally speaking, I choose to post in excepts format on my homepage. I believe that it is like giving a choice to my readers to view other posts.

    But you like, here is a good post of Daniel Scocco of Dail Blog Tips - http://www.dailyblogtips.com/post-excerpts-on-the-homepage/

    Hope that helps.

    with excerpts people can compare 100's of post and choose to read what they want to read.

    I would suggest using excerpts since they show a little flavour of what the article is about and (hopefully) intices the user to carry on reading thus (hopefully) spending more time on your site.

    Kind Regards
