Custom Blog Post Descriptions on Home Page and RSS

Hi there

I’m looking for a way to change the preview text that appears on my home page for each blog post.

Currently the theme displays the first few lines of the post. However this often isn’t the best preview of my content. I’d much prefer to be able to customise it the same way I can with my search result snippet.

Also if I change this preview on my homepage will it also change the preview text for my RSS feed. I’d like to do that as well as that is the text that appears in my subscription emails advertising a new post on the blog.

I’m assuming there would be a way I could do this with custom CSS, but I’m not proficient enough to even begin to guess how. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Renee
