  I want to have a front page with latest posts but when you look at the front page for each one of these posts be only partially visible, so that users have to click on each article to read the full text.

  I thought I would be able to do this by going on reading setting and selecting summary on the for each article in a feed show, option.

  Does anyone have any ideas please?

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

  You can use
  a) the more tag

  b) excerpts

  Depending on the theme you have activated, excerpts you assign may be displayed on your homepage, RSS feed, or archives page. Your theme will also determine whether or not your excerpt is followed by a link that points readers to the full-length post.

  Some themes that use the excerpt instead of full post content:
