Creating posts

The Posts menu option on the left is where you add blog posts. To add a new blog post, select the Posts > Add New option from the left hand WordPress menu.

Setting a post excerpt

'Recent Posts' shortode as well as blog listings may display a post's excerpt instead of the full content, since that helps the readers get to the information they need faster.

Wordpress might display a field below the content editor labeled 'Excerpt'. The theme ignores this field because the field skips shortcodes and custom html tags. Instead one will have to insert a 'read more' <!--more--> tag in his content in order to seperate the content from the excerpt.There is a button that inserts the tag for you and is located between the post title and the content editor. The content up to the <!--more--> tag will be your excerpt.

Now some people may want to display a cut down version ( only the content after the 'more' tag ) and some people might want to show the whole content when viewing the single post. Thus we have an option in your admin panel -> Angle -> blog -> General Blog Options called 'Strip teaser' that will allow you to configure the above behaviour.
