Sorry.

I think I did as you suggested and now the code for my video is showing and there is still a "read more" showing...

Could you look at it and offer more advice?
Thanks,

If you want to display full posts on the front page of the blog then you need to create your own full post excerpts.

On any theme with an active excerpt box below the editor box you can use this workaround to have full posts on the front page. You compose your whole post first and before you publish it you switch to the HTML (Text) editor, copy all the code, paste it into the Excerpt box below the posts editor, and publish the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/#creating-excerpts

If you do not see an excerpt box then go to screen options on the top right hand corner of your Admin page and include:
Post – Likes and Shares, Format*, Categories, Tags, Excerpt, Send Trackbacks, Discussion, Comments**, Slug, Author, Revisions, Writing Helper

P.S. On themes that do have an active excerpt function, the workaround works very well but you have to do it on every post you create.

I'm using the Sight theme and have chosen the "show full text" setting, but still only see a summary of posts. Does this theme not allow for me to see the entire post on home page? This is a blog for a classroom and seeing the media on the home page is important to me.

Thanks,
Cath
