   Hello friends

   I would like to make my posts appear in preview format with the teaser line, part of the text, and a thumbnail of the image that is featured in the post.

   Thanks for your suggestions!

   Use <?php the_excerpt(); ?> instead of <?php the_content(); ?>

   Thanks! Im newb. Where do I paste that?

   I wanna do it "a la" search engine result. Example:

   That depends where you want to show it. If you want to show excerpts on your homepage you need to edit your index.php file. Find the line where it says <?php the_content(); ?> and place <?php the_excerpt(); ?> instead.

   Can someone direct me on where to place 'the_content' tag? I'm trying to display the full text of a post on my homepage page using the code below:

   <?php
   global $more; // Declare global $more (before the loop).
   $more = 1; // Set (inside the loop) to display all content, including text below more.
   the_content();
   ?>

   I don't know where to put this code, because I'm using a template that doesn't have <?php the_content(); ?> or <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   in the index.php file. All that's in the index.php file is:

   <?php
   global $options;
   foreach ($options as $value) {
   if (get_settings( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; } else { $$value['id'] = get_settings( $value['id'] ); }
   }
   if($swift_magzine=='magzine') include('layouts/magzine.php');
   else include('layouts/blog.php');
   ?>.
