  On my blog posts page, how do I only show a summery of the blog and then have a “continue reading” button? I have looked through all settings and can not figure this out. Right now its showing the entire blog making it difficult to see past blogs.

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

  Hi there,

  It looks like you are using the Karuna theme on your site. I installed the same theme on a test site of mine, and you’re in luck! There is an option to post an excerpt rather than the full blog post.

  To change this, you will want to go to My Sites —> Themes —> Customize —> Content Options. Under Content Options, you will see at the top “Blog Display.” Simply switch that from Full Post to Post Excerpt (don’t forget to save) and that should do the trick. :-)

  Hope that information helps!
