  • Find & expand <b:includable id="post" var="post"> by clicking the small black triangle.
  • Locate below pieces of codes..

  <b:else/>
    <b:include name='headerByline'/>
  </b:if>
  <b:include data='post' name='postTitle'/>
</b:if>
<b:include data='post' name='postFooter'/>

Replace to this..

  <b:else/>
    <b:include name='headerByline'/>
  </b:if>
  <b:include data='post' name='postTitle'/>

  • Refresh & Preview your blog homepage/index pages.

By using the above (highlighted yellow), it will display your post snippets within 300 characters. Update the value according to the amount of text you require to display. The snippet() constructor will output in raw text format & strips all HTML formats from your original post.
