I thought about it, but I think it’s too hard for me. Thanks for the post anyway.
Fantastic post and simple to understand description. How do I go about getting permission to share section of the article within my upcoming newsletter?
I think it will be nice to add other related tutorial in this one, like other examples of codes for the single.php or page.php template.
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!

Hi,
You did a great job writing down here a lot of good information.
I’m not an expert in php and your advices really help.
Now, I want to change my default wp theme (on my new blog – the old one is ok) in just one way: I want every post from index and achieve pages to has (read more) by default. Let’s say, they will can read only the first paragraph, or first 50 characters or something like this… not entire post in index.
I really don’t like when the people can read with just one click on my home page, entire all (10) latest posts.
Can you help me with this?
I really appreciate!
Ken.
