That worked, thank you sir! Now, because I wouldn't want you to think you could stop using your brain for two seconds, I have a new question. I also just tried adding some code for sharethis.com (sharing buttons) but it appears I'm editing the wrong files because I can't get it to work. Their site tells me to add this code at the bottom of the post: <span class='st_sharethis_hcount' displayText='ShareThis'></span> <span class='st_facebook_hcount' displayText='Facebook'></span> <span class='st_googleplus_hcount' displayText='Google +'></span> <span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet'></span> <span class='st_linkedin_hcount' displayText='LinkedIn'></span> <span class='st_email_hcount' displayText='Email'></span> so I assumed I'd add it under this chunk of code in /site/templates/markup/post.php: <div class='post-body'> <?php if($small) { echo substr($page->summary, 0, -4) . "… <a class='more' href='{$page->url}'>" . __('View More') . "</a></p>"; } else { echo $page->body; // if the post has images and no <img> tags in the body, then make it a gallery if(count($page->images) && strpos($page->body, '<img ') === false) include("./gallery.php"); } ?> </div> It then tells me to add this code into my site header: <script type="text/javascript">var switchTo5x=true;</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript">stLight.options({publisher: "c29ec199-09ee-40fc-ae3d-746c240bb69a"});</script> so I edited the file /site/templates/head.inc and put it here: <!-- This website is powered by ProcessWire CMF/CMS.

What am I missing?

The changes to the summary work fine, no issues there, but the changes you mentioned for main.inc break the styling on the whole site so there must be something missing in that code?

Definitely would be handy to have it output the page name as right now it's a bit limited but a great start!

Ryan, It looks like the changes we made to /site/templates/main.inc caused the styling on the site to get buggered up. As soon as I reverted that piece, the styling came back. Thoughts? I assume it's a missed closing tag somewhere but I'm not adept enough to know where.

Hm. Something weird seems to have occurred and the CSS on the site appears to be buggered up now. Something in the changes we did? You can see what I mean on http://thatcriticguy.com Oddly, the changes I made seem not to have applied. Let me see if I can figure it out first.

Nice! Changes made, thanks for pointing that out and yes, the view more within the last paragraph is better. Looks good so far!

Nevermind. I just figured this out on my own. Apparently, I just needed to change the field "Summary" to allow it to use TinyMCE and remove text formatting and now she works like a charm just like an excerpt field. Did I mention I love ProcessWire?

Hi Ryan, Don't worry, I know the blog profile doesn't showcase what ProcessWire was intended for. I am primarily using it as a starting point for my personal site, which I've been tweaking steadily. Quick question for you. I implemented these changes that WillyC recommended but the excerpts are now far too small: in /site/templates/home.php, I changed $content = $page->body . renderPosts("limit={$page->quantity}"); to this: $content = $page->body . renderPosts("limit={$page->quantity}", true); Is there a way to perhaps place a <read more> link of some kind in the text editor or limit the # of characters in the post shown as excerpts? The issue is that the excerpt is two lines of text and no pictures. I'm trying to find a happy medium here without showing the entire post on the front page. I'd prefer to capture the first picture in the post and the first paragraph and then have a "continue reading" link. You can see what I'm getting now here: That Critic Guy

Something I discovered with this profile (which I'm almost done implementing by the way) is that if you insert an image into a post and resize the window, sometimes the image overlaps the right sidebar. I used a neat CSS trick to make my images, regardless of size, automatically resize with the windows. Here is the CSS: img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; width: auto\9; /* ie8 */ } This makes things nice and neat.
