hi

my blog page shows full posts, though i checked in settings: "For each article in a feed, show > summary".

so how do i show only summary (excerpt) and how do i set the number of words to show for each summary on the blog page?

thanks

To show a summary on your actual blog posts go to theme options and check the auto read more and how many words should show (250) and save.

The feed you're talking about above is for your RSS feed meaning that people get half the post and have to click over to your blog to read it all. I would not do that. Select full so they can read it all.

great. thanks.

one more small thing: it asks about "Excerpt balance".
could you tell me what it is ?

thanks

I have no idea mine is on 5 though? lol

I was trying to add some coding so you can style it, but it's not allowing me to add it in here.

I am looking for this also. I went to Theme Options, but there is nothing there that says "auto read more". Am I looking in the wrong place? It is under >Appearance > Theme Options?

Also, I want to show only excerpts and NO photos. How do I do ths?
