    Hi.

    one way is to add the tag <MORE> – which your editor provides you.

    Another way (better, i think, if you wish to do it for all your posts), is using the following plugin:
    PostTeaser

    have fun :),

    The “more” tag should be there above the text input area and it insert this: <!--more-->
    Advantage: you define where it goes.
    Disadvantage: you have to isert it manually in every post.
    After that, on the main page clicking on the post title it takes you to the whole post view.

    Another option is to replace the_content template tag in your template file (index.php of the theme) with the_excerpt.

    WARNING: If your theme doesn’t have the full list of template files, this solution might affect not only the main page.
