    Hi,

    I just found another problem. I try submit a long story and once the story approved the story is displayed in full even at the home page.

    I want to have structure like this at the homepage:

    {post title} - solved
    {post featured image} - solved
    {post excerpt or introduction text} - i think i can solve this by limiting the characters or use excerpt
    <READ MORE LINK> - how to do this?
    {other images thumbnails} - solved

    Adding the "read more..." link to the end of the excerpt is handled by the the_excerpt() function in WordPress and sometimes in your theme (there is sometimes a custom excerpt function added to functions.php.)

    What does the template look like that's showing the excerpt now? If it's lengthy, please use pastie.org to post all the code.

    Also, what theme are you using and please post a link to your site if it's live. Thank you.
