Would you mind a summary view on the front page?

I’ve been considering the possibility of no longer putting full posts on the front page, but, instead, putting short summaries (just the first few sentences of the post) and then giving you the option to click through to the full post if you are interested in what you see. There’s a few pros and cons to this:

Pros:

  • I’d be able to fit about 50% more articles on the front page
  • It would be easier to find content you like due to less scrolling
  • Newer content wouldn’t get bumped below the fold so quickly

Cons:

  • You would have to click a “read more” link to view the entire article
  • Summaries may not show all the randomness I convey in my journal entries

So, what would you like to see happen? Leave it as it is now or try working with a summary view?

Would you prefer summaries or full posts on the front page?
