 * Hi, does anyone knows a php code to wrap the content from my posts on the frontpage?
   I tried almost everything…

 * Sorry – could you explain exactly what it is that you want to achieve?

 * Well, when I make a post with very long content all of that will display on the
   frontpage. I wan’t only to display the (for example) first 3 lines, withouth 
   insert a more tag in every posts.

 * Amend the front page template to use `the_excerpt()` instead of the `the_content()`.
   If that still isn’t short enough for you, you can use the Optional Excerpt box
   at the foot of each post’s Edit page to create your own customised excerpt.

 * Thanks for it, but I ment something else. Example, you have a text:
 * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi a ligula eget 
   nulla mollis scelerisque. In malesuada vulputate orci. Integer sem. Morbi dapibus,
   libero id pretium pellentesque.
 * Will change in to
 * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…

 * Then you’ll need to enter your text in the Optional Excerpt box near the bottom
   of the Edit Post page.
