I like this layout, with the post excerpts like is shown but I have no idea how to do this in Flexsqueeze. Can anyone help? I asked over at their forum also but it can take forever to get answers.

I am surprised I can not find a good complete tutorial on how to use this theme...

You'd have to re-design flexsqueeze, which would cost more than just buying another theme.

Christian - sorry I have no experience of this theme but according to the FlexSqueeze Sales Page it can be done

Content or excerpts – Easily choose to display post excerpts or content/read more link and also control the length of your excerpt and the read more text!

It must be somewhere there in Admin?

Meanwhile - this looks like a good resource:-

  Do you even read the answers before you start writing?
  
  I think pjCheviot told very clearly on how to display post excerpts.
  
  Thanks

  ..... I will just leave this uncommented...You obviously didnt read the post.
  
  Anyways, I will do it for you. I will even read it out loud if you want and upload it as an mp3 if you need to
  
  But lets try it once again with writing down the infos:
  
  So, what do we read on the FlexSqueeze official website about post excerpts?
  
  "Content or excerpts – Easily choose to display post excerpts or content/read more link and also control the length of your excerpt and the read more text! You can even use excerpts but include the full content of the first post by designating it as a sticky post!"
  
  Okay great! 10 seconds of Google research (you couldn't do that yourself, could you?) and we already know: post excerpts can be shown easily.
  
  Now the next question is: How do we activate the option?
  
  Lets quote pjCheviot again:
  
  "It must be somewhere there in Admin?"
  
  My guess would be, he is right. What do you think? He said he has no FlexSqueeze theme, so he cant exactly tell where it is. Neither can I, because - guess what - I also dont own the FlexSqueeze theme.
  
  But still, we want to find out where this option is. (well you do, but obviously you are not able to open up Google and search yourself. Therefor we will do it together - hand in hand )
  
  So lets, open up Google (you must start your browser and navigate to Google !!)
  
  We have one big input field. This is the place where we can enter our question:
  
  flexsqueeze theme+post excerpts
  
  The next step is: Press the search button (its right under the big input field where we have just entered our question).
  
  You were able to follow me until now? Got a question? Dont hesitate to ask!
  
  Ok. So once we pressed Search, the results are shown: Lets read through the first 5 results:
  
  RESULT NUMBER 2 :
  Display Full Sticky Post Content with Excerpts - FlexSqueeze
  
  Sounds good, right?
  
  Now, the final step (and I am sure you will be able to do that yourself):
  
  Click on that result!
  
  TADA! We found what we are looking for!
  
  How long did it take us? 1 minute!
  
  Now was that soooo hard ?! ....
  
  EDIT: I saw you made it! Great for you! I am so proud! And yeah, I was happy to help!
  
  Thanks

lol dude u got too much time on ur hands, i didnt know this

"It must be somewhere there in Admin?"

meant this

"I think pjCheviot told very clearly on how to display post excerpts."

So he CLEARLY told everyone where this was located.

Heck if he did, why are you googling it.

GRAB a LIFE... u have nothing to contribute to a thread, so why post at all. You're one of those wannabe mods that troll around forums on the internet saying "did you use the search button"?

Thanks
