  Hi there,

  You can go to My Sites > Customize > Content Options > Instead of full post click the “post excerpt” radio button. All your posts will be shown as excerpt.

  If you don’t find the option mentioned above, check out the links below for an alternate way:

  You can also use a “more tag” found in your editor toolbar to use excerpts.
  Check out the link below:

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks!

  Hi! Do you know if there’s a way to edit a “continue reading” button’s style? My site’s background is white and the color proposed by my theme is red, so the outcome isn’t exactly easy on the eyes.
  I tried “manipulating” the –more– tag by adding some combination of “div”s but it doesn’t apply correctly (I have a basic plan so limited resources)
