 * I am totally new with this great stuff. So please be gentle 😉
 * I know the “Continue reading” feature is popular, but for various reasons i would
   like to disable it. Is it possible?
 * Cheers

 * This thread tells how to get the ‘continue reading’ to work so maybe it will 
   show you how to get it NOT to work 😉

 * This is an old thread that I am piggybacking on, because I am having the same
   problem. I’m using the “Durable” theme, and would like to disable the automatic
   excerpting of posts, so that all posts on the front page appear in their entirety.
   Anybody have any advice? Thanks

 * Edit theme’s index.php to swap the_excerpt for the_content?
