    Is there an easy way to display full posts, rather than excerpts, on a blog home page. (I tried the Genesis Grid Loop plug in without any success.) I am using the Prose child theme.
    See: http://rasamauragis.com/blog/

    My preference is to display full posts. Alternatively, what is the easiest way to add "Read More" to make it clearer?

    Hi,
    Though Prose definitely has its own mind compared to other themes, you may get what you want be going to ...

    Genesis...Theme Settings, and scroll down to Content Archives. There you can choose "Display Post Content" instead of excerpts. The only thing about that is that other types of archives will get the same treatment.

    Tweaking the "read more" stuff is a bigger deal, but can be done with this.

    Best, Dave

    I fixed it, for now, by going into:
    Dashboard>Genesis>Theme Settings>Content Archives>Display Full Content

    However, if there is a better way, I would love to hear about it.

    Thanks

    Great!
    There are more code-y ways of doing that specifically, but that's the easy way.
