Yes, the more tag is supported. And unfortunately there is not bulk edit function to use, so it will be an exercise of manual (well individual post) work. Get a book on CD, a movie on DVD, or some good music… Sorry for the bad news, but it will work.

That'll still get me (more or less) what I'm looking for.

Much more manual than I had hoped, but sometimes that's how the cookie crumbles.

Thanks,

In any theme you can use the "more" tag:

I am attempting to show post summaries (only) when showing a page of posts on the front of my blog, or when viewing all the posts in a particular category. I selected the Reading option to show summaries in the post feeds, but it didn't change anything.

Any advice would be appreciated.
