  I’m using the “Follow Blog Widget” and it returns the full new posting to followers. Can it be configured to just return a link to the post instead of the full post?

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

  Hey Jeff, You can send a summary, rather than the full post. The summary will show a truncated version of the post, and then a link to read the remainder of the text at your site.

  If that sounds good to you, please click Settings → Reading in your Dashboard. You’ll notice the header:

  For each article in a feed, show

  . Click Summary, and then Save Changes.

  Let me know if you have questions about this. Cheers!
