 * Hi everyone,
    i’m using the Twenty ten theme on my blog and i want to make appear
   excerpts of the posts when i open the blog and not the entire post. i search 
   and i found the php function the_excerpt(); my questions are: my theme allows
   me to use excerpts without this php function? to use these function i need to
   be more than a free user? there is any free template by wordpress that allows
   me to use this option?
 * thanks

 * if you are using wordpress.**org **software and twenty ten in your own selfhosted
   site, then you can edit loop.php and change it to show excerpts on the front 
   page.
 * if you are with wordpress.**com**, please look for support at [http://en.forums.wordpress.com/](http://en.forums.wordpress.com/)
