Front page
-
I want the post on the front page of my blog site to be a shortened version of the post, not the entire post. Is there a ways to do this? How?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have two options. The most straight forward is to add the “more” tag to your posts in the place you want them to cut off:

The other option is to choose a theme that displays truncated posts automatically.

The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.
If you want to display only 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.

This is a list of active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

I didn’t think to look for that list in the forum, TT–I couldn’t search on it in the theme showcase and stopped my investigation there. Thanks for being so thorough.

your = you
Sorry :(
P.S. I am visually challenged and my app does not do a good job of distinguishing between your and you. I’m also multitasking from my business so when I am in a hurry and I fail to proofread before I click submit I look as though I cannot spell and have no grammatical skills. -
