Currently my blogs are displaying all of the characters that appear before the read more link in my blogs. I would like to set a truncated number to display less. I have also found the truncation settings but they do not seem to take effect in any blog which I believe has a Read More link in it. I am thinking this is probably because I somehow have my system set up to display based on the Read More links instead of a specific number truncated?

The settings I found are located in Components->EasyBlog->Layout->Truncation

I guess I am wondering if the real answer is that I need to stop using Read More links and remove the ones I already have in order to have the truncation number take effect? I do know that will work.

Thank you, Sean
