Apologies for this probably very basic question, which is almost certainly
addressed somewhere in the documentation. Being a crass novice, I have not been
able to find the answer quickly, so ask the "friendly, experienced users" to
give me a hand.

I have my posts allocated to categories. Opening a category in WEB-view then
displays the whole text of each of my posts in inverse chronological order, with
only the timeline as a separator and no way to skim an entry and jump to the
next item.

What I would like, is:
* a rendering of one post at a time
* a display of the title
* the body being limited to the first x words of the entry, or alternatively to
a summary (which one would have to supply separately)
* the possibility of then "opening up" to the complete post, if the reader is
interested to peruse in detail
* the possibility to skip to the next entry

Most BLOGS I have seen (and all others I have tested) have these features, so I
have little doubt the nestor of BLOGGING must be able to oblige as well.

Can somebody enlighten me?
