  I’m using Chateau Theme. In Settings > Reading, for each article in a feed i have clicked “Summary”. And yes i have Saved changes. However, this does NOT reflect on my Home page and a full text of each post still appears on Home page.
  Please advise.

  That’s a setting for your RSS feed, not for your blog. You need to use the More button to truncate posts. It’s the one that looks like a dotted line cutting a piece of paper in two. Place the cursor where you want the break, then click the button.

  @tanialeong – Just to clarify, are you saying that changing under Settings>Reading the “For each article in a feed, show” settings to “Summary” changed the full posts on your front page to short posts with a “continue reading” link? If so, that is a major change to how the site works.

  Or did you add the “More” tag or “Excerpts” to each of your posts?

  @ justjennifer – i used the “more” tag, and so home page looks fine with “continue reading” link.
