simple wp questions

Hi,

Sorry to ask a dumb question ...
how do i just display a snippet of my word press posts when they appear on my home page?
At the moment it displays my whole post and with the size of some of them my readers have to scroll for ages to get to the second post and so on!

Thanks

 

no question is a dumb question. you can custom code the index file or use an excerpt plugin. just search for excerpt plugin on google and you will find many

if you want to do the coding, which takes only a minute or so, then find the main index file under your admin panel, change the_content() to the_excerpt()

 

use read more

 

many thanks ... worked perfectly

 

where is the 'read more' function???

 

there should be some plugins on the wordpress website to do exactly what your asking ive seen a few on there i beleave that do just what your looking for

 

'read more' in menu edit post, administration wp
