   I'm trying to find a plugin that will allow me to pull titles and the first few lines of each post off of my site.

   What I basically want to do is have a page of posts from a particular category. I don't want the whole post and I want more than just the title.

   Any suggestions?

   Thanks in advance!

   You might look at the template tags and do it yourself:

   Look at the_excerpt_rss and the_content_rss.

   the_excerpt is the right way generally, in concert with the <!--more--> tag to get the 'Read more..' type links.

   You might check out the Table of Contents page I created on my blog (click on the Table of Contents tab at the top) and see if that is the type of functionality you are searching for. If so, I would be happy to share that page template with you.

   I didn't do it as a plugin, but it could easily be encapsulated into one, I'm sure. I just haven't gotten around to it.

   Basically, it defaults to listing titles, but gives the user the option of showing excerpts. They can sort A-Z, reverse A-Z, chronologically, reverse chronologically, etc. etc. etc.
