How to style blog entries

  • I’ve made a theme from scratch, and was wondering in which php file I can edit the html for blog entries? I figured the single.php is for the full blog entry once you’ve clicked on it, but which file is for the index page where you can chose which entry to read?

    Also, since my php knowledge is very limited to say the least, I was wondering how I can make my site appear like this:
    on the index page, I want to display the titles of the blog entries only, with maybe 100 words of the actual entry below, and display only 4 news.

    Any ideas ? ??

    Try index.php

    Yeah, that should have been obvious I guess.

    Anyway, I still need help with the php… i’ve tried reading the codex but it’s too confusing. How can I make it display a list of links only? And how can I make it display 4 updates with title only , and 100 words of the actual post?

    Also, is there a function for having a description field for each entry, that could be displayed on the index page isntead of the first 100 words?
