Short description in Wordpress

I want to display on main page names of articles and short text of articles. Now WP displays full article开发者_Go百科s and it is big problem for me.

Is there a way to display short text of articles on main page?

In navigation admin menu, go to Setting->Reading, there is an option For each article in a feed, show, choose Summary.

Hope it helps.

You can use the [more] tag in wordpress (there is even a button in the GUI article editor that says more)
