  On my homepage, I would like each post to be summarized rather than the entire article visible.

  In Settings > Reading I have selected “Summary” under “For each article in a feed, show”. However, my homepage still appears with the entire article visible. Am I going about this the right way and simply experiencing a glitch?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

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

  That setting is for your RSS Feed only.

  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.

  Or you can use one of these themes that have automatic excerpts instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
