# RSS feed or post feed

 * First off, here is an example site that I would like to be able to do to my posts:
 * [http://exnovobrew.com/](http://exnovobrew.com/)
 * Towards the middle of the page where there are links to posts and shows a partial
   description. Is this using RSS or code that views the post? If it’s code that
   displays their posts, then this home page must be done in WordPress, right? If
   so, how do I insert a page that doesn’t utilize the WordPress theme I have enabled
   but that I can manually code?

 * It’s … code, but it’s your theme. You need to change it from calling the_excerpt()
   to the_content()

 * By the way, you’ve got some hinky in your code:
 *     ```
       <a href="http://exnovobrew.com/blog/2013/06/20/ex-novo-wearables/" target="_blank" class="post_img" style="background-image:url(http://66.147.244.131/~exnovobr/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/img_5903.jpg)"><img class="hidden" src="http://66.147.244.131/~exnovobr/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/img_5903.jpg" alt="IMG_5903"></a>
       ```
   
 * Why is that calling the IP?

 * That’s not my site. As I said, it is an example site that shows bits of their
   posts on their home page, which is what I would like to do. I just wasn’t sure
   if it was done using RSS or not. So their home page is still through WordPress
   you say? Will those posts be automatically updated or do they have to do it manually?
   I’ve not had success adding my own page to WordPress without having to use a 
   page template, how would I do that?

 * What I am asking is…If I create another page, how do I insert posts into it separate
   from the actual blog page? I’ve created a new page and applied my own template,
   and just as a test I used the same code as that is in index.php in the new template.
   But when I open the new page with the new template, the content is unstyled. 
   Why is this? I want my home page to just feature a few of the most recent posts
   and not show the whole post, but when I go to the “blog page” it shows all that.
