  Howdy!

  The summary is used by select themes, RSS feeds, email feeds, and similar tools to post a summary of the post it’s notifying. Not all views rely on the summary.

  It sounds like you want only a brief portion of your post to appear on your blog’s homepage, enticing the reader to click through and read more of the post.

  For that, the best thing to implement would be the “more” tag. Read how to use that here:

  Let me know if that sounds like what you wanted, or if you have more questions. :)

  Best,
