   Here are some pretty pictures:

   The first one is a picture of my settings, the second is a picture of what my "News" page looks like.

   Basically, I have a Home page and a News page (quite a common setup). Problem is, my news page isn't giving links to the posts, or cutting them off after a certain number of characters. I want my news page to be kinda like this:

   Post Title
   Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ... [read more]
   5 comments

   It's always done it this way, except for this particular site I'm developing, and I don't know why. If I'm being unclear, let me know.

   Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

   what is the code of the 'news' page template?

   you could paste the code into a http://wordpress.pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here.

   a linked title code is similar to something like this:
   

   <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" ><?php the_title();  ?></a></h2>

   to show a short version of the content, the code should have the_excerpt(); instead of the_content('read more');

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content

   to set a read more link on the excerpt, see:
