   Evening folks.
   I've got a WP blog and I really like how this site has their front-end posts laid out. It's got a box for each post that summarizes the post, gives the basic post info, and then the more button.

   Is there a site that has some info on how to do this with WP? I'm handy enough with the website code to get the layout, I just haven't been able to figure out how to get it to summarize on the font page, along with a more link, then link to the full post.

   Here's a link to the site I was referring to, the boxes are right under the JS image slider: http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/eGamer/

   Thanks! Appreciate the info!

   I guess what I mean is, is that I can't get just a snippet of the post to show on the blogs front page, it shows the entire post, so it creates a scrolling nightmare.

   I have this:
   

   if(is_category() || is_archive())the_excerpt();
   else the_content('(more...)');

   And in my Blog settings, I have it set to show Summary in the settings admin menu, and I also have except text in the excerpt box for the post, but it still shows the full post... :shrug:
