Thanks so much for trying to help.
On the link you sent, it seems I can get posts to truncate by using the
<!–more–>
quicktag.
However, I’m not sure where exactly I should put this, as my index template seems to have neither the_content nor the_excerpt anywhere in it.
I’m pasting the code from my index below.
Thanks again!
