How to make my all post short?

Hi,
I have a wordpress article directory and users can submit their articles but all the articles are in full format however i want to make all articles short as they look like more seo friendly home page.
Is there any plugin or idea to make my post short.
I can edit any single post as "read more" but i can't submit all post submitted by users.

Please share if you have any idea.

Thank you very much.

 

Use a magazine theme or any theme which uses only a excerpt on the front page.

 

If you have large no of articles, better to show only the title, and increse the no of post in home page

 

you can display their except of all the article. You can control excerpt length. Such that it may fits your site requirement

 

You can solve the issue with the help of a plugin called "Evermore" It works very well with all wordpress blogs and theme.
It gives you control over the number of characters and paragraphs.

cheers
Josh

 

@Snipers - Edit "index.php" -> delete <?php the_content(); ?> -> replaced with: <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Good luck!

 

There are few plugins around to make the post short.
