Theme that only shows previews of each blog post

  • Hi everyone, I am looking for a Theme that only shows previews of each blog post, instead of showing the entire post on the main page. I have lots of long and short blog posts, frequently updated, so if I make a long post, I don’t want all of my other posts getting pushed a mile down the page. Any suggestions? Is there a keyword for this that I should be searching for? I’m unaware of what this type of blog is called. I had one called “description” that was good for that, but it started messing up so I need a new one.

  • you should be able to use basically any theme, then search in the themes index.php file for

    the_content

    and replace it with

    the_excerpt

    That should do the trick. ??

    I take that back, it will not show the full post now, even when you click the link to the blog post itself.

    then it must use the same theme page for both the front page and a single post.

    copy the index.php and create a new file the same with the name single.php

    put it in the same theme folder as index.php

    in the single.php use the_content and in index.php use the_excerpt
