Anyone know how to make posts automatically truncate?

I would love to have our main page automatically truncate/limit the word count of long posts. The truncated post would end in a friendly “Read More” which would automatically link to the full posting.

Has anyone done this? And if so, are you willing to share your trick?

thank you
