    A simple question:
    I'm looking for a plugin that only displays a certain amount of info on the homepage and people would have to click on a "read more" link to read the entire post.

    I cannot seem to find it. Yeah, I googled it..but I guess I just don't know what the plugin would be called..:eek:

    Thanks :)

    One thing to note is that WP doesn't always properly close out tags if the <!--more--> comes in the middle of them. I always try to put it after an intro paragraph (after the </p>)

    There's also a plugin that enhances the <!-- more --> functionality called Content Show/Hide. It gives readers the option of reading more right there on the same page instead of being whisked to another page. I'm using it on my site and it works great. You can find details at the publisher's site:
