How do I make the articles on my blog homepage stop halfway

Hi I want to make the articles on my blog home page to stop halfway as a way to promote more comments.

How do I go about it in wordpress

Thanks

 

Explain what you want in details.

 

put the <!--more--> tag in your posts

 

or you can change "the_content" to "the_excerpt" in your index.php and/or home.php

 

What I mean S_ruben is that when my home page loads, the blog posts follow each other in their entirety. I instead want them to appear as summaries or halfway

 

Thanks very much for helping me out. It worked

 

The easiest way would be to just use the <!--more--> tag when writing your posts. The homepage will cut it off when it sees that tag.

 

There is actually a button for that in the editor's toolbar.
The one useful feature that was removed from that toolbar is the <!--nextpage--> button: to split a post in multiple pages.

 

Alot of times themes come with that option, what theme do you have?
