  In the Reader, certain blogs display the following message: “Sorry, this blog only allows us to show the first section of a post. Read Full Post →” How do I get my blog to do this?

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

  To do what? Do you mean how do you get the Reader to display full posts?

  Your feed is set to show summaries of your posts, which encourages readers click through to your site in order to see the full posts.

  You could change that RSS setting like so:
  dashboard—>settings—>reading—>site visability—>”for each article in a feed”—>√ check “full text”—>save changes

  Thanks for this! Actually it was set to do the opposite (display the full text) and I wanted it to show the summary only. Followed your advice and it now does just what I wanted. Merci!
