Is there any way to limit how much the main page shows from a post?
In other words, if the post is really long, the home page would have something like "read more", which would link to the post page and show the whole thing?

Re: Long posts
Most (but not all) themes will work as you described if you use the post's "extended body" for the portion you want to see after a visitor clicks on a "read more" link, and use just the "entry body" for the intro portion of the post.

Interesting - I hadn't thought of that. I tried to use the entrysplit plugin for this but it doesn't seem to do anything.
