I just made blog on a clickbump 5 theme but when I have a new post it will automatically come on my homepage which is fine. The problem is I do not want to show the full post. How do I set it on excerpts?

Btw. don't know if it matters but the theme is amazonia.

    look in your index.php file. replace
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    with
    <?php the_excerpt() ?>

    If its wordpress, just put a Read more insert via the WYSIWYG editor.

      I also suggest the same answer.

        To keep things simple, I installed the Advanced Excerpt
        plugin. This will add an "Excerpt" option under the Settings menus
        in your dashboard. Anytime you want to customize the length
        of your excerpt, you can simply do it from your dashboard
        instead of thru the index.php file

    Make the Home Page Post Sticky
    If you want only one post on the home page, you just need to add the "Make this post sticky" option to your desired home page post. Alternately, you can designate one of your "pages" as the "Static home page" via "Settings > Reading" in WordPress options.

    A Hybrid Method
    You can also enable a hybrid approach of a single static home page post, along with a blog listing of the latest posts. This can all be configured via the ClickBump "Blog" options manager at: "ClickBump > Blog"

    The Suggested "Best Practice" Method
    The preferred approach, as I'm doing on the clickbump.com blog, is to use a single sticky post on the home page, along with the "inner blog" option which establishes a blog link in your main menu that's outside the home page (identical to the way Google's Matt Cutts does it)

    No, it does not matter. Amazonia is a "Skin" that installs on top of the core ClickBump theme. The skin just gives the site a unique look and feel. All of the core functionality exists in the underlying ClickBump theme.
