How can I get posts to appear as summaries on my main page?

  Even after choosing the summary option under the reading settings for my blog, the posts still show up as full text on the main page and all subsequent feed pages, and I was hoping there was some way to limit the amount of text showing on the main page so it didn’t show the entire story.

  Hi there,

  Check out this guide to learn how to split content:

  The option you’re referring to under Settings → Reading only changes how your posts appear in the feed and in any emails that your subscribers are sent. It doesn’t change how your posts appear on the site itself.
