How do I show blog titles only?

Phil Best-2
I would like to show just a list of my blog post titles only, but not the content, so that someone has to click the title to read the content of the blog post.

Is it possible to do this in Nabble?

Many thanks
Phil Best

There is no simple setting within the Nabble interface to do this, but I strongly suspect that it is possible to do this through use of the CSS in the "Look and Feel" section of the "Change Appearance" option.

Have you looked at the HTML behind your blog page? Are you familiar with CSS?

Forgot to add...

While it doesn't reduce the Blog entry heading to just the title, the NEWS application, does reduce the entry to a quote of the first few lines. It also takes the first image in the post as a thumbnail for the entry.

For the sake of neatness you need to be careful to make sure the first image in each entry has the same aspect ratio. My example blog (a News application) is at:
http://www.gregafloat.plus.com/blog/index.html
Go to page four and five of the posts to see the effect of using a different aspect ratio image or no image at all. (Using a portrait orientation image looked even worse to my eye!) In this example there's also been a fair bit of CSS applied in the "Look and Feel" of the application to compress the links in the header area and give the blog a matching colour scheme to the rest of the site.
