 * tiffany,
 * Rather easily, actually. In your post editor, click the button that looks like
   a dotted line between a thick equal = sign (or, if you’re into HTML, type `<!--
   more-->`) after putting your cursor where you want to snip the home page preview!
 * There are automatic ways to make this happen, but I personally like this manual
   approach because it maintains flexibility and the freedom to snip the preview
   wherever you’d like.
