I’d like to show only 300 or so words of the main post on my home page so it doesn’t take over the entire space, and then add a “Continue Reading” hyperlink. Is that possible? I’m using a custom Source version with a single story in the center header. Currently I have {{content}} but I’d like to truncate it. {{excerpt}} is not what I want.
The {{content}} helper has a words param, e.g. {{content words="300"}}

Yay thank you!!! I knew there was an easy answer but don’t always know where to find them :)
Hello, I would like to do the same thing, and then also add a “Continue Reading” hyperlink on my homepage. How do I manage to add this link, so it is visible on the homepage? Thanks a lot in advance!
I can’t remember the final solution, but I did end up doing it. ChatGPT helped me… and while I did it via editing the theme files, I bet you can do it via code injection. Check out our homepage at www.burlington.buzz to see how it’s executed.
Thanks a lot Nicci! Your page looks great
