Changing the front page to display full articles

I have had some enquiries about changig the front page from having excerpt of stories to the full story of each post on the front page.  It is pretty easy to change, this is how it is done.

Log into the admin of your site.
go to Appearance>Editor>index.php
Find this line
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
replace it with
<?php the_content(); ?>
save the file.
All the post will be on the front page

    just getting started with your template which I think is great and I’m certainly no programmer but can follow instructions. I changed to full page and that works fine but I still have the “read more” link. Is there a way to remove that and also the link in the header?

    Many thanks…. Steve

    In the index.php file find this code.
    <a href=" " rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to ">
    Delete it and that should remove the read more links.

    I found this reference – do I delete the entire line?

    <a href=" ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “>
