i feel retarded because this must be somewhere obvious, but if you look at my site:
www.rocanvillegrads.com you can see that i have a introduction. i want the whole thing to show up on the front page, not have to click on the link to read it all.

please help, and sorry for being a noob.

Put <!--break--> in where you want the "read more" link to appear.

If you don't want it to appear at all, make sure it's the very last thing in your story.

So edit your intro and right at the bottom insert <!--break-->

If that is the only node you want on your front page, change the front page url in the sites settings to that nodes url. That should stop the read more turning up.

Another idea: if you do want a listing page for your front page with a blurb at the top, you could always use the sites mission for that content (like here on drupal.org) and leave the listings of promoted nodes below. You might want to change the style though for that.

Yet another idea, you could use a view (from the views module) as your front page. Views let you put some content at the top of the listings.

hmm. I'll look into the view module, but really all i want is exactly what I already have, except without the "read more" link, and just have all the text show up.

Hi Anton,

So how do you change the front page URL?

Cheers,
