  Once I have created a category and selected it as an item on my custom primary menu, can I then have it so any post I categorize under that category appears as only the title of the post without the content?

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

  Hi there. Are you talking about the category pages? I see you have a few of those in your menu. The way category pages display is determined by the theme. It might be possible to override the theme’s settings by adding custom CSS to your theme, but you will need to purchase the custom design upgrade to do that.

  Another option might be to create regular pages instead and use the Display Posts shortcode to create a list of posts for each category on respective pages. You can customize the shortcode to some degree, including using it to display only post titles. Full instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

  If you want to consider the CSS route, you can post your question in the CSS customisation forum for info on what code will be needed to make this change: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform

  See here for more info on purchasing the custom design upgrade:
