People generally does not like to read the long posts. SharePoint 2007 - Blog does not provide with any feature to restrict the number of characters / lines to be displayed on the Blog Posts. The Blog Authors (like me) likes to write the long posts. With few such a blog posts on SharePoint - Blog site, makes the Home Page scrollable. As a result, the blog posts at the end of the page gets ignored by the readers.
Solution

Is there a way to limit only one Blog Post on the home page as a summary view. I don't have publishing activated as a feature. I am using SharePoint 2010.
