I'm new to Wordpress, started a blog, and can't figure out how to get the blog entries to display in a cutoff/compressed manner with the title and beginning text only. The default seems to be showing the full text, which means users can't easily get a sense of the kinds of posts. I'd like a setup like this. I've been through the control panel and tried out options, but what am I missing? Thanks for any suggestions.
