I'd like to use the read more tag to make excerpts on this static page:

http://seniseneviratne.com/about

so that the two paragraphs of text in the bottom of the table are displayed on another page

Is this possible?

And how do you do it?

See http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizi..._More_in_Pages

I don't really mean to reply. I am new to the forum and I can not figure out how to post a new thread. so that would be my first question.

My real problem is this: I don't know what I did, all of a sudden this weird link shows on the top of my page (http://nettsett.no) It says . . . → Les mer: Nettsett" />

les mer means read more. I want to get rid of it but I can't find out what caused it to be there in the first place.

Please help.

That looks like you added something to one of the options but it is invalid HTML.

Did you make a change to the read more or excerpts?

Thanks for answering!
I found out that the problem was with one of the plugins, it's always an easy answer to these things, isn't it?

Could you also please tell me how to start a new thread? It would be very helpful!

When you first go into a forum, you should see a 'New Thread' button (it's BLUE)

Regarding the question posed in post #1...I have the same question. I would like to post excerpts from the latest posts on my News page on my static home page. I have visited the Wordpress Codex link, but I must admit, it seems like Greek to me!

Here is the url for my home page
http://www.midriffrecords.com

And here is the url for my news page:
http://www.midriffrecords.com/news

Can anyone who has tried this help simplify the process?

Where does the new code need to be inserted?
And once that is done, how can I implement the excerpt on the static page to link to the blog posting? Is it done via shortcode? Or is there a way to make new excerpts automatically appear in a specified area on the static page?

Or is there a magical plugin that does all this on its own?



Thanks!

Tony

For anyone interested in this thread, I found the following plug-in:

I will give it a go and report back with the results!
