  I keep forgetting to put a Read More in my post, is there a setting to do this automatically?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  No. It has to be done post by post unless you use a theme that has automatic excerpts on the front page. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

  BTW you are using an old retired theme that no longer supports all wordpress.com features and the recommendation is to change themes.

  For professional themes see here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/subjects/professional/

  re: changing themes
  Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.

  The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

  For changing themes see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes

  Every theme has detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this one https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sapor/ and a live demo site like this one http://sapordemo.wordpress.com/

  Thanks, but I like the theme, so unless it is pulled I will stay with it. It’s nice and clean, easy to read.
