  New to this game and wondering if I am able in the twenty eleven theme to have the posts in my categories display as previews that can be clicked on rather than full posts. I selected

  See farewellrelationships.com and the posts in the categories, such as ‘breaking up,’ is what I am talking about.

  In settings > reading, I selected ‘summary’ rather than ‘full text’ to be displayed for ‘each article in a feed.’

  Thanks

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

  There are summaries only in your posts RSS feed http://farewellrelationships.com/feed/

  The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.

  Whether or not full posts are displayed on the front page, main posts page or on the dynamic Tags, Categories and Archives pages is theme specific.

  Consult the theme description page here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyeleven/ and most of all note what the live demo site demonstrates here http://twentyelevendemo.wordpress.com/

  That setting is for your FEED, not for your blog. If you chose a theme like Twenty Eleven that doesn’t automatically truncate posts, you’ll need to use the MORE tag, which is the button in the visual editor that looks like a dotted line across paper.
