How can I email just an excerpt of my blog?

  After I publish a post, I’d like my followers to just get an excerpt/introduction of my blog post not the entire post, via email. Is that a setting that I can manage, or is that up to the follower to decide?

  Hi there,

  You can control this under Settings > Reading in your blog’s dashboard. Next to the setting “For each article in a feed, show” select Summary (rather than Full text). This will send a summary or excerpt of your blog post to your followers via email and in the Reader. You can read more about this setting on this page: Reading Settings

  If you have any questions about this, please let me know!
