 * I’m using the standard 3.1 version of wordpress and i’m wondering how can i make
   the “intro text” disappear when somebody is viewing the full article.
 * Custom intro text
    <!–more–> The full article

 * Edit your theme top use `<?php the_excerpt();?>` instead of `<?php the_content();?
   >` on all of its post listing (archive) pages. Then make use of the Optional 
   Excerpt tab in Add New/Edit Post to create a customised post teaser for each 
   of your posts.

 * Sorry, i’m a noob when coming to wordpress & coding … but from what i understood,
   i went to my theme’s single.php ( this is the file that show’s a single post )
   and replaced the “the_content” with “the_excerpt” … but now it only shows the
   full article like a intro text.

 * You need to look in your theme’s index.php template file. Also category.php, 
   tag.php and archive.php if you have those files.
