  I have the Minnow Theme, I cannot get the read more function to work and cannot get an image at the top of my blog entry. Please advise?

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

  Hi there,
  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/

  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. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

  To control the number of posts displayed on the front page go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most _ posts
  “save changes”

  Minnow does not have a custom image header feature or featured images either. The detailed theme description page is here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/minnow/

  Make sure you are running a browser and version of it found here http://browsehappy.com or upgrade please.
