   Greetings-

   I am using the lovely-looking Takimata theme

   (see here: http://www.ireallyshouldbewriting.com/notsoserious/blog/)

   As you can see, the theme doesn't allow for any "preview" of the post. I looked through the stylesheet and this is why:
   

   .home .entry-content {
   	display: none;
   }

   So I figured I just have to change the "display" attribute. I changed it to "full" and it showed the entirety of the post. Very long and ruined the whole look of the blog.

   So what I'm looking for is a way to have, say, the first paragraph show, then the "read more..." that most posts have. I tried using a number, like 50, after the display attribute, but it didn't work.

   Any thoughts?

   Thanks!

   When the display attribute is in "full mode", use the <!--more--> tag at the end of your first paragraph when creating a post. It's available in either the Visual or HTML editor interfaces. Whan you complete the post, only the first paragraph will be shown on your posts page, with a "...more" link at the end. Click on the link and it will take you to the entire post on its own page.
