# Excerpt in website…

 * Ok, I’m slightly experienced with wordpress, but still very much learning.
 * I’ve had success installing wordpress into the main page of more than one web
   site in the past. Right now, I’m working on a project for a client that wants
   a blog incorporated into the main page. The way I have the layout designed, I
   don’t want whole posts to show up on the front page, just an excerpt of the latest
   post.
    So, I’ve gotten all that to work. I used the_excerpt(); with some modifications
   to the functions.php to get it to look like this:
 * [http://www.yellowberri.com/extremeky/hcw/](http://www.yellowberri.com/extremeky/hcw/)
   (
   the excerpt appears about halfway down the page, under “Women’s Fitness Blog”)
 * What I want it to do is, when the user click on “read more…” after the excerpt,
   it will take them to a new page with either just the whole post, or maybe even
   all posts with the latest one at the top.
    Currently, it just reloads the same
   page (without “older entries”/”newer entries” navigation)… also still only shows
   the excerpt.
 * Any solutions/input on this would be greatly appreciated.
 * (the client’s site is still very much under construction, by the way)

 * hmmm.. thanks for the link, but I had already read this. this seems to only be
   relevant to using the_content(); with a _more_ quicktag. I need to use the_excerpt();
   so it’ll be automatic. I don’t want the client accidentally leaving out a quicktag
   and breaking my layout.
