instructions to activate a front page that displays multiple posts
-
Currently when you land on my site, it displays the latest blog post in full and you have to scroll through each blog post or use the navigation at the top to find what you’re looking for. I’m after simple instructions that will teach me how to activate a front page whereby you could see multiple blogs posts that stop near the beginning and have a continue reading link which readers can click if they wish to read the full post.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it. It can only be embedded into individual posts and pages.
Also, note that 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 in the exact spot you want the content to split off.
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 content 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. Use this filter for active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts
For other ways to splitting content in posts see > https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/
Go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading and scroll down to enable infinite scroll on the same page.
To infinity and beyond __ Scroll Infinitely
