I’m also trying to figure out how to shorten the “preview” of posts (like the default home page in 1.5) that is generated by:
the_content(‘Read on…’);
Has anyone had any luck with this? Is it possible to change the number of characters? Specifiy a max block size?

I found a plugin that is supposed to do this… I’ll let you know how it goes – it’s supposed to work with WP 1.5. Check it out:

Wow, there it was staring me in the face
:/
Just use the {!more} tag (a button on the top of the write post page) , but make sure it’s on its own line within the post content. The excerpt ends at this tag and puts a link to the full article.
It’s posible without the {!more} tag, beacuse the people will write in the blog don’t know about tags, so I want to short automatcly the excerpts
You could try http://guff.szub.net/the-excerpt-reloaded , there is also a plugin called ‘limit posts’ or something, can’t find a referrence at the moment though.
I can’t see the ‘more’ tag mentioned above. Does it depend on what template you’re using?
