  I have posted two blog posts and when you go to my blog you can see the whole blog post. How do I, do so that you only can read a little bit about the post and then it says ‘continue reading (or something like that.) And then you can click on it and then read the whole blog post.
  I hope it makes sense :-)

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

  There are a few ways you can do this: the ‘more tag’, excerpts, or theme.

  ‘More tag’: this splits up a post and only part of it will show on the homepage. A reader will need to click a link to read the entire post. Here’s the guide for that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/

  Excerpts: rather than splitting up a post like the ‘more tag’, excerpts let you use whatever words you want, whether it’s the introductory paragraph or a summary or something else. A downside is that excerpts are dependent on what theme you’re using and may not display on the homepage. Here’s the guide for that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/excerpts/

  Theme: change to a theme that does it automatically. Here’s an old post that lists some of them: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
