a 'table of contents' desired for my blog page
-
looking to have my blog posts listed by title under my Blog Post page, such that ppl don’t need to scroll thru the whole page to see what is there. I’m hoping there is a setting I’m just not seeing that will pull all my titles and show them for the reader to be able to jump to a post of interest. thanks for any help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it. It can only be embedded into individual posts and pages.
Also, note that the setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.
If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication in the exact spot you want the content to split off.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the content does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. Use this filter for active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts
For other ways to splitting content in posts see > https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/
Go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading and scroll down to enable infinite scroll on the same page.
To infinity and beyond __ Scroll Infinitely

You can create a Page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and on the Page you can use the Archives shortcode https://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/
You can create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#1-create-a-custom-menu and add that Page into a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages. -
Timethief, thank you for the comprehensive response. I did learn a lot about the options reading thru the different links you provided.
