You just have to modify the "the_content" to "the_content_limit". You can also specify how many characters to display: "the_content_limit(300, "Read More")".

I replaced the content_rss with the_contenet, works awesome! Your right I'll need to tweak css, and other stuff, but still works. What Ive wanted to do, is create a category specific to the front page, and have control over it. I use multiple categories, splitting up types of posts ie news, media, blog post page. I am fascinated with how you tweak Artisteer, I would love to be able to do the same thing. I've added a custom archive page into the build, so I don't have to keep adding it in the wp cms. But it would be nice to add more features into Artisteer. Thanks tons & tons for your help! I like that theme also, but I need the grid styling of green envy.

This strips all of the formatting and images from the post and sets the number of words to display. That way everything fits in the post box. You would probably need to use something like timthumb.php to grab an image and then all the CSS would need to be messed with to make it work. Plus there's not much room to put in an image. Maybe my Blue Moon theme would work better because it has timthumb included and has more room for images. Plus you can turn off most of the features if you don't want them. But if you just gotta have the green theme I'll see what I can do. Let me know. Instead of using “the_content ” to display the post it uses “the_content_rss”.

I hacked around & got it to work, but now it repeats the first post twice. And I really do appreciate the help. I also had to cut the elseif: because i kept getting errors. If I can get this to work there is one more mod to your theme i'm trying. As is, it strips out and pics in the posts. Can this be changed? Thanks a lot for the help.

If you want to show posts from a particular category you would need to do a wp_query to get a specific category and the number of posts you want to display. What you need to do is replace this... <code> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> </code> With this... <code> <?php query_posts('showposts=3&cat=6'); ?> </code> It should be around line 28 in the index.php file. You should reset the wp_query so it doesn't mess something else up. Add the following at about line 98. <code> <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> </code> Also you should keep the total posts to display on one page (10 or less). The wp_query tag doesn't play nice with pagination so no telling what you'd get on subsequent pages. I haven't tried it out on the theme but it should work. If you have problems just leave a message and I'll fix you up. P.S. For some reason the code tag in the comments adds a space before the ?. So remove the extra space between the < and the ? (< ?) at the beginning in all of the above code. The front page just shows all of the recent posts as if was the main blog page.
