Show Only Post Excerpt In The Home Page

Instead of displaying the whole post in the homepage you can simple display, only some excerpts from your article; and write 'Read more...,' instead. In this way when they click 'Read More' the complete article will be displayed. It gives a professional look to your page.

Login to your account and click on the “Layout” tab. Then select “Edit HTML”. Check ” Expand Widget Templates”.
Now search for </b:skin> and paste the below code between </b:skin> and </head>

<!-- Style to implement "Read more.." link in all the posts (Start) -->
<style>
    <b :if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
        span.fullpost {display:inline;}
    <b :else/>
        span.fullpost {display:none;}
    </b></style>
<!-- Style to implement "Read more.." link in all the posts (End) -->

Now search for <data:post.body/> in the template HTML and paste the following piece of code after <data:post.body/>

<!-- Code to show "Read more.." Link (Begin) -->
          <b :if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
              <span>
                <a expr:href='data:post.url' 
style='color:#0000FF; 
text-align:right;
font-weight:bold; 
text-decoration:none'>
Read more..</a>
             </span>
          </b>
          <!-- Code to show "Read more.." Link (End) -->

Save it. That’s all about coding part of the theme. To show only post excerpts on the homepage, you need to insert <span class="fullpost"> post excerpt.Remaining article will be shown after clicking on "Read more.." link.</span> . Now your articles and blog will look more professional.
