    I’m trying to change the layout of my blog home page. Rather than having one full-length post beneath the other, I’m trying to make only the image with the title and the first few lines for each visible so that people are able to choose from various posts with one glance. Does that make sense. I sometimes see it on other blogs using the same theme but no one has yet revealed the secret to me. Please help. My blog is tomorrowdefinitely.wordpress.com

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

    Hi there,

    Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it.

    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.

    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 text 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. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
