    Is there a plugin or a way to display only part of the post on the home page of the blog (wordpress selfhosted) and then display click here to read more to the actual blog post?

    I just want to implement this on the home page of my blog because it usually has too many pictures which make the page heavy. However I do not want to have enabled for my RSS feed, which I want to be full.

    Use the_excerpt() in your index.php file and just place a link beneath it to the_permalink()

    If the_excerpt is too ugly, you can just scroll down in the posts admin page and you'll see custom the excerpt at the bottom, just copy and past what you want the excerpt to say.

    use this piece of code:

    <?php the_excerpt(''); ?><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More</a>
