   Hi all,

   I just launched howetechnical.net, and it seems that the theme I'm using (Irresistable by Woo) is showing my posts on the main page in their entirety. I would like to have only a blurb showing on the main page, then when clicked have it re-direct the user the the actual, full post. Right now, my page is super long with only 6-8 posts...I'd hate to see how long it gets in the next year.

   Thanks!

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt or use the "excerpt" field in the "add post" UI.

   Thank you, brainycat! Replacing the_content with the_excerpt worked great :)

   Actually, I have one more question...is there a way to limit the number of excerpts listed on the main forum? Something like 10 seems about right to me.

   (sorry about being a noob here, I haven't worked with php too much. More of a software guy)

   The number of posts on the frontpage is set in admin > settings > reading > "blog pages show [] posts"
