How do I dislplay on the first few lines of a blog?
And why has the “chat” help dialogue box disappeared?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
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/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
To control the number of posts displayed on the front page go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading
Blog pages show at most _ posts

It’s only available when Staff are available to provide the service. We have other resources for answering questions like the support docs at http://support.wordpress.com and tag searches like this one https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/the-more-tag
These are our support options http://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/ In addition we can email
help@wordpress.comHowever, contacting Staff at all when the majority of all questions can be answered on this support forum more quickly doesn’t make much sense to me.
