  I’ve recently realized that most of my followers read my posts via the notification email send to them instead of going to the site and reading it there. How can I change it so if they get a notification they only see the first paragraph or so and if they want to read more they have to click to go the my blog site??

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

  Hello,

  You can specify how new posts are shown in feed and email notifications under Settings → Reading.

  To send summaries (which by default will be the first few sentences of each post), find the option labeled for each article in a feed, show, and check the Summary button instead of Full Text.

  See the Reading Settings support page for more information.

  Note that you can also customize your summaries – see the Excerpts support page for help with this.
