How To Add Blog Except On Wordpress
Excerpts are a summary of your post content and are used to shorten your posts so that only the introduction or a summary of your post is displayed rather than the full post.
Places where an excerpt might show, depending on your theme, include:
- Blog Page
- Search results
- Portfolio page
- Featured content on the homepage.
Here's an example of excerpts on the homepage of a blog using the theme Gridz.

When you click on the post title, or the Read More link, you are taken to the full post.
Some themes display excerpts of ~300 characters by default on the blog page and the excerpt is created from the text at the beginning of your post if you haven't added a custom excerpt. This is replaced with your custom excerpt if you added one using the Excerpt module.
The Advanced Settings plugin can be used to force a theme to display Excerpt on the site's blog page if your theme doesn't display excerpts by default.
