  Is there a way to change the summaries on my home page to display the full text?

  I don’t like how the summaries fracture the posts, making them less inviting to read. I would prefer to have people go to my site and simply see the posts in their entirety. This is my website: http://movielistexperiment.wordpress.com/

  I am using the fresh and clean theme.
  Blog url: http://movielistexperiment.wordpress.com/

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

  The theme you are using Fresh and Clean displays only the beginning of posts on the front page of the blog. That’s the way it is designed and you cannot change that. However, the theme has an active excerpt box below the post editor. You can switch to the HTML editor and copy and paste the code into that box including a thumbnail sized image and your own excerpt as opposed to having the theme automatically displaying the beginnings of your post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/
