 * How do I show partial posts instead of full posts on my blog? Just thinking perhaps
   it would be better to have just a few paragraphs of each article and then reader
   can click to read more.

 * Have a look at using
 * `the_excerpt();`
 * instead of
 * `the_content();`

   the_excerpt(); ?> into the html when publishing a post put it still appears the
   same.
