Able to just have summaries in a WP site?

[draggar]

I have a WP site (latest version) and when I have the splash page set as "recent posts" it shows the entire post - not just a summary, even if I have summary selected.

Is there a way to manage this? I'm assuming it has to do with the template I'm using, but this template does look nice, especially for the site.

I just people would rather view the summaries as opposed to scrolling and scrolling, and scrolling to view the net post.

When I look at the month archive it does show this way (summaries) and also when I view by category.

Suggestions?

check the source page script at www.recycledjunk.com
the top page is set to show splash quad recent psts plus a main pinned top post

Use the plugin evermore. You'll get something like see eg: autism-advisers.com

Click the "HTML" tab in your post.
Add <!--more--> after the first few lines
This should insert a more link to the rest of the post on your home page

I am going to kiss you.

Thank you very much!! Simple yet effective!!

Edit: I take that back - offering to kiss you might be considered threatening another member, which is against the rules.
