Blog Feed
-
Is there anyway to make a blog feed only show a short summary, and need clicked on to read the whole post? I’m finding my posts are ending up much longer than I’d like and I’d like people to have to do less scrolling to see the x posts I allow in feed. I’ve tried switching to summary in the dashboard, and actually writing summaries for each page. But that only seems to affect my list not the actual site.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.
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 ext 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. 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
