   Just built a new blog and the first post (lengthy) is displayed as fulltext instead of the excerpt or first 55 words.

   Im trying to get it to display as summary or excerpt.

   I had to tweak a lot of CSS and add some XHTML to get everything looking right and I might have broke something. I am not a PHP person yet, but I have a basic understanding of programming.

   The options in control panel (Reading - Settings) are set to summary, and I think I read that only the first 55 words displayed by default?

   Thanks in advance for suggestions & help!

   so...you want it to show the summary or the fulltext?

   another place to look when trying to control how content is displayed is in your theme's index.php, inside the loop

   if you see <?php the_content you will get full post

   <php the_excerpt gets you a summary
