   Hi,

   Currently im displaying full post content on my archives and category pages and wondered if there is a simple way (plugin hopefully) that will only output say 100 characters of each followed by a [....] read more style link?

   I've had a good look through google but other than writing a specific excerpt nothing turns up.

   hi, have you added <!--more--> where you want the text to stop (after your 100th character)? Just hit the "Code" tab when you are adding your post/page and put the <!--more--> tag where you want the content to stop on your archive/category pages.

   More on 'more':

   A more *automatic* method is to use the_excerpt() template tag in place of the_content() in your templates:
