  You can send just part of the post instead of all the text. Go to My Sites > WP Admin > Settings > Reading. Find “For each article in a feed, show” and click the button next to “Summary”. Finally, click the Save Changes button. Here’s more info: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/reading-settings/

  thanks for response. I’m very new and also not totally familiar with RSS subscription vs ‘follow’. Mention is made that email advice would also be effected. The settings you have cited are related to RSS while my experiencing following a friend’s wordpress blog was specifically after ‘following’. I’ll do some experimenting now that you’ve pointed me in this direction so I’ll put it down as ‘resolved’

  Again, many thanks
