   Hello,

   Relatively inexperienced with CSS here, just so you know..

   I'm looking for a way to have only a portion of each post appear on my main page (like the first sentance..) and then have the post titles appear on my sidebar under the appropriate categories list.

   I've seen a few reated posts in this forum but it wasn't clear to me if this topic has already been covered or not.

   Thanks! JPO

   The first part is easy:
   insert the "more" tag when you write a post where you want to break the text.
   The second question needs some customized coding.

   For the first part, I use Post Teaser http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/PostTeaser so I can control the number of words I want it to have in it.. and for me, it is easier than manually adding the more tag.

   I do things the easy way.. save keystrokes.. but that is just me

   OK, that was simple enough for truncating the posts.. thanks you guys! how about the second part (listing the posts on the sidebar under category headings).

   I've found and utilized the <?php wp_get_archives();> function but it doesn't accept a categories argument, but this gets me (hopefully) half-way?

   Thanks, JPO
