 * Hi,
 * I’m using StudioPress 1.2 theme and would like for my post to be published with
   an excerpt only and a read more link at the end. I set this in my settings, but
   the entire post is published on my home page.
 * So how do I set my posts to excerpt only?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * You can replace the_content() with the_excerpt() function in your active_theme/
   index.php
 *     ```
       ....
       <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More</a>
       ....
       ```

 * Thanks for the advice, but this didn’t change anything. I can’t figure this out.
   If I change a template line it should at least mess up my blod template, but 
   this code line didn’t change one thing. Hum?

 * Alright, I had to modify the home.php to get the excerpt to appear. Now, I need
   information on making the pictures show up for each post.
