I need a little blog help, pretty please....

I would like to change it so that only the first part of a post shows up on the main page, with a link to the rest of it. I have played around before, seaching for how to do this, but I couldn't figure it out. :confused: Is there a simple way to do this?? I will be thankful to you forever..... :D

I don't know where your blog is hosted but for example on wordpress it depends most of the time on how long your blog posts are and how many posts you have told it to display on your front page. Somewhere in your options menu you may have the option to display full text or summary but once again it depends on the platform you are using.

In the end, I hope that was somewhat helpful. ;)

who's your blog host?
knowing what you're using could help with more specific instructions :)

Sorry, that would help... I am using blogger.

I think this is it...

Setting
Site Feed
Allow blog feeds (you can choose full or short)

Try that and see if it works.

When you are writing your post, is there something like a <more> code? Insert that where you want your post to stop.

Angela,
I know that there is a way to do it in this link. I just got done fiddling with my blog and this site explains everything clearly.

Let me know if you need more help.
