New to EE... Have a few questions about layout and Word Limit Plus

    Hey, I set up EE as my main page (.index.php) on my domain and I’m looking to use word limit plus to have a “teaser” on the front page of the site with a link to the permalink article in word limit. This is what I’m using:

    {exp:word_limit_plus if_exceeds="200" stop_after="150" the_link="<a href='{title_permalink=weblog/comments}’>MORE…</a>”}

    {body}

    {/exp:word_limit_plus}

    Basically, I want to show 10 or so articles per page, even though every article is ~1000 words with the ability to click into the actual full article based off the “more” link.

    Is this possible to do off the /index page of my site? Every time I try to plug in that code, it looks fine on the front page but when you try to click into the permalink with the complete article, it just opens another page full of abreviated articles that looks just like the /index page.

    I hope I’m clear on what I need here. I’m not quite sure how to ask it. Thanks in advance for any help.
