    On my site http://www.crystalgamer.com I am trying to get posts on the homepage and archive menus not to display too much text.

    I only want the first 3-4 lines to show. After that I want it to have a link saying "Read more"

    Does anyone know how I can do this.

    Please help
    Many thanks

    you should have a "more" button in your post editor
    basically just insert
    <!--more-->
    where you want it to say "Read More" and it does

    I put the <!--more--> code in the text but it hasn't done anything when I look at it on my homepage.

    Do you know what's wrong?

    look in your theme's index.php for
    <?php the_content ?>

    does it look like this?
    <?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>

    I don't seem to have a <?php the_content in my index.php file.

    What else should I try?
