After Matt posted about Joe Friday he was wondering if there was a way to not have the whole post show up on the front page. So we did a bit of digging and found the code. So if you want your long post to only show a paragraph or so and then have the reader click on "read more" to find the rest of the post...

Like we did here. Then the code you type is:

<!-- more -->
opening bracket <
followed by an exclamation mark !
followed by two dashes --
followed by a space
followed by the word more
followed by a space
followed by two dashes --
followed by closing bracket >
