  How do I show only a sample of a blog post on the blog page? Currently, my blog page is showing the complete blog post. I only want a sample of each post showing with the option to read more.

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

  Head to My Sites → Customize → Content Options and select Post excerpt under Blog Displays to accomplish the same.

  There isn’t a content option

  Twenty Eleven is an older theme that doesn’t have the Content Options feature, so you’ll need to add the More tag manually:

  If you’d like a theme that lets you automatically display an excerpt, you might want to check out Dara or Penscratch 2.
