  I can’t find the option to have my post appear as a summary and then give the option to click to see the entire post.

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

  Hi there, the option to display a post summary – which we call an excerpt in WordPress – depends on the theme you select. It’s not an option available in every theme, so you might want to have a look through the theme directory to find one that offers that feature. An example of a theme that displays post excerpts on the homepage is Grisaille.

  Just let us know if you need further help.

  In addition to choosing a theme that displays post excerpts on the homepage by default, you can also use the More tag to display part of your post on individual posts.

  Here are instructions for doing that:
