I am doing great with WordPress but I just cant seem to figure out how to make it so the blogs on the main page just shows some of the post and then you have to click to read the rest. As it is now each post shows up in its entirety on the main page.

I have looked in settings etc..not sure what to change. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks so much!

I know the solution. Download the 'homepage excerpts' plugin and then activate it. Once activated, it will show only an excerpt from your posts rather the whole thing. Its a great plugin, very handy.

a designer sent me this and it worked great: Thanks all!!!

Change this:

<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>

To this:

<?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>

Thanks for the tip. It worked for me on my website.

There is a button you can hit when writing the post. It is called the "Insert MORE tag". It is immediately to the left of the button that says "ABC" and then has a checkmark under it. Hope that helps.
