    I have a wordpress blog linked to my domain at /blog, I am looking for a way to add an excerpt to the front page of the domain that is in html. Can this be done and if so how?

    Thanks;)

    Open the index.php file of the theme you use and change the_content() to the_excerpt(). I think it is what you want.

    Hi!

    i think there's text box on posts page below the article post, you can put the excerpt of your articles there.
