Need help making posts a summary
-
Can anyone help me figure out how to get my posts to be displayed as a summary on my blog? I don’t want the full post to show on the home page or tabs because then everything gets really long. I just want a short summary to show with the option to read more.
How can I accomplish this? Can someone please help? Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
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.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/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
To control the number of posts displayed on the front page go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading
Blog pages show at most _ posts
“save changes”
