Listing Posts in Summary Format
-
I have three sections (or pages) of my blog that I post different blogs on. However, for each, I would like to show all posts in a summary format (thus shows feature image, brief description, title, author and date) – shown in either alphabetical or chronological order. I am finding it difficult to do so though with the Sketch theme, even after changing the post set-up to a summary format in settings. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The way your theme is designed to operate is found here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sela/
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.

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