  my entire blog entry is shown on my blog even though i’ve clicked the
  “for each article in feed show: Summery”

  even if my entry has 10 pictures and a bunch of text, the whole thing is shown. I would like it to just show the first picture and first bit of text and then say “Continue reading…”

  how’s this done? because clearly i’m doing it wrong :)

  thanks for the help.!

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

  The Summary setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed and does not affect the post display on the front page.

  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.

  Alternatively you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
