   I know this is a very stupid question, but I have tried to find the answer here for an hour or so, but in vain. Could anyone help me out? Thanks from South Korea.

   Hi
   Is it your own custom template, if yes make a new template files named frontpage.php copy the content of your index and replace the tag the_content() by the_excerpt()

   if its not your own template when you edit a post there is a box below the content. Its called the excerpt, put your test there.

   Thanks, eduplessis!

   Well, I am using the wordpress 3.0 default template called 'twentyten'. And this is not my 'own custom template', is it? Actually I could not find any tags such as 'the_content()' and 'the_excerpt()' in the index file in the '/wp-content/themes/twentyten' folder. Any further advice, please?

   TwentyTen does this in loop.php:

   edit loop.php and find this line (line132, there is also the same code on line 104, but that is the wrong line)

   <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>

   change it to:
   

   <?php if ( is_front_page() || is_home() || is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for front page, home, archives and search. ?>

   This is great, but is there a way to preview a photo that I include in the post? All of my posts will have a photo and I will want them to be seen on the preview.

   Thanks!
