Thanks Devin.

I've checked the Settings tab, but the only place where I can choose to display a summary of the post is when it appears in an RSS feed. For people browsing, some of our posts may seem too long and can make them lose interest. How can I get a summary of the post to display when people land on the "Posts" page?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/only-couple-of-lines-appears-in-blog#post-62339 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:53:33 +0000 Mya 62339@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad I could help.

Than you... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/only-couple-of-lines-appears-in-blog#post-60116 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 03:05:06 +0000 Mya 60116@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi DIntel108,</p> <p>Just so you know the Settings &gt; Readings &gt; "For each article in a feed" does not apply to the Blog page itself neither does the Settings &gt; Writing &gt; Size of the post box. "For each article in a feed" applies to your RSS feed. "Size of the post box" refers to how large the textbox you type in under Posts &gt; Add New or Pages &gt; Add New will be.</p> <p>Now to change the excerpt length follow these instructions from this thread.<br /> <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/short-text-on-the-blog-page#post-35269" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/short-text-on-the-blog-page#post-35269</a></p> <p>You'll of course want to use a large number like 300 or 500 depending on how long your posts are.</p> <p>As far as the &lt;!--more tag--&gt; not working. Make sure you are not entering &lt;!--more tag--&gt; in the Visual editor. The Visual editor (the default tab) will read it as text not HTML. Instead you want to click the "Insert More Tag" icon or use the shortcut ALT + Shift + T. The icon is the 12th icon from the left next to the link icons.</p> <p>Hope this helps!</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Mya </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/only-couple-of-lines-appears-in-blog#post-59532 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 19:32:32 +0000 DIntel108 59532@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I would like to have the entire blog appearing in the Blog view, and if I prefer so use the &lt;!--more--&gt; to shorten the view. But not only I have not managed to have the full length appear in the blog, but the &lt;!--more--&gt; is also not working. I have checked full length under "settings/reading/For each article in a feed, show" and I have put to 2000 "settings/writing/Size of the post box". still nothing to do, I only have a short summary and especially not the picture gallery... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/making-blog-page-show-summaries-instead-of-full-entries#post-31799 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 08:42:19 +0000 Dude 31799@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad that I could help you :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/making-blog-page-show-summaries-instead-of-full-entries#post-31770 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:57:04 +0000 allenjcochran 31770@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks!

It loets me add in the 'blog' element and allows me to choose the category but the whole article shows and this is huge. I only really want the same as you'd get if you looked at a category list. </p> <p>Any ideas on how I could limit how much of each article shows when using the blog element?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/making-blog-page-show-summaries-instead-of-full-entries#post-30361 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 16:35:59 +0000 Dude 30361@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> you can use the read more tag/quicktag to mark the excerpt: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More#The_Excerpt_Basics" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More#The_Excerpt_Basics</a></p> <p>Use it like:<br /> <pre><code>and I told him that he should get moving or I&#39;d be on him like a limpet.
