Can anyone tell me of a way to show just a short excerpt of a blog on the front page as opposed to the whole article. I thought it might be something to do with the excerpt box when you are writing an article, but I have had no success with it.
In WordPress there's a little button labeled "more" and this puts a comment into your blog (which you probably can't see in v2) but it splits your posts into 2 parts. check out my blog for an example. Then there's the actual excerpt feature but I think that only gets used in the RSS feed.
Depends on what theme you are using. I pulled this out of a code from Coffee Cup theme, which has excerpts on the archives page......try adding this: <?php the_excerpt() ?> in lieu of <?php the_content?> wherever that is in your code. PM me if you need more help, and let me know what theme you are using.
Sarah, you are th bomb. I never knew this feature existed, and it is exactly what I am looking for, and also probably what AF is looking for! Thanks!
HOLY MACK! It's been right there smack dab in front of my face the whole time. Thanks so much for showing me that!
