[support] Views on Homepage

[Greg Holsclaw]

Set the views to 'Teaser  List' in the View Type. If still too long (or
too short), change the teaser trim length at
/admin/content/node-settings (Administer >> Content >> Post Settings) to
the desired length ( I believe it is set to 200 characters by default).

Subject: [support] Views on Homepage

Hi!

I have a two panel homepage, the left panel is drawing from a view and 
so is the right.  www.crocodyl.com

The panels are pulling from 2 separate page views, each is set to 
display one content type when it is published and promoted to front
page.

The problem I am hitting is that the panels are displaying the entire 
post instead of a clipped version.  I can't seem to figure out which 
setting to change, I would like it to cut off at about 500 characters 
and display the next post below, like a blog in each view.

It looks great if the new content (Company profiles) is really short, 
but once more information is entered in, it starts to make the front 
page really long.
