Much appreciated, I typed up the JIRA for you. If you're tied up with
other projects, you can unassign yourself from it.

Hi Gaurav, I noticed with your theme, by default we require the blog
reader looking at the blog home page to need to hit the "Read More >"
button for every blog article. So if he writes 10 articles, his blog home
page consists of 10 blog titles and 10 "Read More >" but no blog text.
Normally we give this decision to the blog writer. Namely, if and only if
he puts something in the "Summary" field on the Blog entry edit page, we
output that summary only (as your theme already does) along with the "Read
More >" button. However, if he leaves the Summary field blank, we go ahead
and render the entire blog article, potentially several entries on each
page (the number of blog articles per page can be adjusted by the blogger
on his settings page.)
I think we should be retaining this functionality even for the
smart-phone-friendly gaurav theme. If someone's concerned about too much
data on the blog home page, he can put in one-sentence summaries for each
blog article to get the "Read More >" buttons (as he should do, to give the
blog reader a better idea what's behind the "Read More" button) and/or
reduce the number of blog articles per page to limit the size. Even the
Bootstrap folks, masters of reponsive themes, happily have their blog
output several blog articles without requiring "read more" buttons:

Would you be able to take care of this change for us?
Thanks,
Glen
