Excerpt issues
-
After figuring out how i wanted my posts to be shown with a summary ( a excerpt) I tried following the instructions using both method to do it on my post however neither method would work so what do I do? I did use word to write my blog and then copy and paste it is that the issue? I’m not great with coding so can anyone help, would really appreciate it.
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.
https://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG withe the actual name of your blog in that URL.
If you want to display only post excerpts on the front page or the blogs 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/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.
Please Read Go Back and Edit Posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts and be sure to click Update to publish the after your editing.
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
