How do I summarise my posts
-
On my home page as well as my category pages – how do I summarise my lengthy posts? Not sure what other word to use than summarise, but how do I get it to be easily glanced at and then the reader click on the post he/she wants to read?
Thanks!
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 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

Hi there. This is related to the original question (hope I’m not breaking forum etiquette here?!) but can I ask, is it possible to publish only excerpts on my category page? My theme is Hemmingway rewritten. I have the design upgrade. http://abbiesbabble.wordpress.com/category/best-babble
Thanks -

Hey Abbie, did you get a reply? I visited your Blog and saw, that you could summarize your posts with a “Continue reading” Link. I have the Basic Set, can i summarize it too? I already ensabled “Infinite Scroll” but if I visit the category work&travel it still shows the full lenghts of my posts :(

ok, i thought so!! thanks so much for the reply.
I will be able to change it by CSS editing if i get a premium account, right?
In that case, I try to learn a bit more about blogging and if I know what I am doing, I will upgrade I guess.Thanks again!

You have an older account
Member Since May 3, 2012 (2 years) so the good news is that you don’t need to purchase a Premium upgrade. You can make an individual custom design upgrade purchase.For new accounts that do not have existing individual upgrades being renewed, going forward from September 1st, 2014, most individual upgrades, except for guided transfers, premium themes, domain mapping and site redirects are now bundled into Premium and Business single plans that users can pay for annually.

May I be blunt please? I have blogged for about 10 years and the visitors I have could care less if there are excerpts or full posts displayed on Categories and Archives pages.
