   Hi,
   My first time using WordPress was yesterday. I am using it for a site on paid hosting. I'm slowly starting to get to grips with it, but one thing I can't see how to do is make blog posts on the main page appear only as 'headlines' or with a brief description rather than the whole post displaying right now.

   As it is now, you can read each whole blog post on the main page without clicking into it. I would like the full post to be visible when clicking on to it. Like news headlines and such.

   I use template "Vermillon 1.0.2.1".

   And one more thing, there are some pages like "About" where I don't want the option of Comments to be on there. So I disabled comments for those pages but the "No Comment" still appears (and it says comments are closed). I would like it to have no mention of comments at all on those particular pages. Is that possible?

   Thanks for any help!
   Daniel

   Hi,

   You need to edit index.php file of your theme and find this code:

   the_excerpt()

   Replace with:

   the_content()

   Thanks,
