Wordpress help using excerpts

Hi - I have a wordpress problem. I'm updating a theme and I want to start using the excerpt's on the home page.

What I want is to write the post. Then, write a brief summary of the post that will appear on the homepage. When you click the title, it will take you to the actual post.

I've tried to do this but I can't get wordpress to read anything I've written in the excerpt section on the post.

Thanks

 

Try adding <--more--><--noteaser--> tags in html view after your brief description of post. The description will not show up in the actual post. All the content after the above tags will show up in the post page. You can get more information about this over here.

 

go to index.php/home.php

find a php code code called the_content()..delete it.

and paste this code there

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Read the rest of <?php the_title(); ?>" class="more-link">Read More »</a>

 

that totally worked.

Thank you so much! You have now idea how much time I've spent on this!

 

Yeah its a Really Worked....

 

Thanks,
