   I'm just putting together a blog for my dog art, can anyone tell me how I can get the full blog post to display by default instead of just the first few sentences?

   The blog I need help with is portraitpets.wordpress.com.

   That is theme dependent, so you will likely have to choose a different theme that shows the full post.

   You might try the procedure that Panos covers in the following post to see it it will work with your theme.

   @Panos, does that cover main post pages as well?

   Oops! No it doesn't - thanks for pointing out.
   Very few themes display excerpts on the main posts page, so the OP will have no difficulty finding a suitable theme.
