Ugua – have a look at the links that Handy Solo posted. they will give you the information you need.

After that, if you still have problems come back and ask. ??

Not sure I can be much more clear:

Edit index.php.
Replace the_content() with the_excerpt().

I’ll clarify that the index.php is the one for your theme.

Handy what are the the_excerpt() ?
Can u tell me exactly what line to replace in my index.php and with what?
I really dont know

Open your current theme’s file named index.php and look for a line with the word the_content in it. Replace the_content with the_excerpt .

Handy what are the the_excerpt() ?

Click the link I gave you earlier in this Topic.
