  Can you set up your email followers so they only see a clip of your blog and not the full piece you post each time.?
  Thanks

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

  The Reading Settings page summary setting changes the RSS feed display only and does not impact the posts on the site.

  If you want to display only post 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.

  The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

  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

  For other ways to splitting content in posts see > https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/

  Our stats are page view stats. If I visit your blog and click into 10 posts that will be recorded as 1 visitor and 10 page views. But please do not assume that everyone who clicks a follow, like, share, reblog or comment link actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.

  Follow, like, share, reblog or comment clicks are not page views. In fact, follows, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats.

  Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts and “comment” in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat. Subscribers control how frequently they receive your posts (instantly, daily, weekly) and can comment without clicking into the blog.

  Logged in wordpress.com members can read full posts in the wordpress.COM Reader now regardless of your settings, so there is no incentive for them to click into your site.
