Hi,

There are several ways this can be done:

You could add a new property to the blog post document type called "introduction" that you would fill up with a small snippet. Then in the BlogListPosts.xslt replace the content property with the introduction property.

Or you could only show a substring of the content property using the xpatth substring function (http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTreference/Output/function_substring.html).

Hi Tim,

Yes that works. Small correction the Content property is refered to the alias in the XLST file so you are looking for this line:

<xsl:value-of select="$post/data [@alias = 'snippet']" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

more... <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($post/@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="$post/@nodeName"/></a>

I changed the existing value of "bodyText" which is the alias of Content to snippet and included a link to view the whole post. It seems to work.

Thanks again.
