How can I collapse my articles so that one doesn't have to scroll down through the entire body
-
My articles are long, and I would like there to be a way for visitors to see older articles without having to scroll down through 25 paragraphs from the most recent article. Is there a way to do this in my free, basic plan?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes. You can do that so please read on.
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.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/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 ext does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
For other ways to splitting content in posts see > https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/
I recommend using the step by step tutorial linked to the bottom of your Admin page https://learn.wordpress.com
