  All my blog posts are shown in my homepage in a long and difficult to read format. How do I get it to show only a small portion of the post with a “Continue Reading” sign that leads to the actual bog post? Thanks.

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

  Hi there,

  Here is a listing of themes that automatically provide excerpts https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts

  See also https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts

  Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it.

  Also, note that 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.

  The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

  For other ways to splitting content in posts see > https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/
