  I insert the read more tag, but when I click on the link it says: Oops, nothing is here.
  I want to add the read more tab, because I don’t want the whole blog on my page, I want people to click on the link if they are interested.

  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/

  In the preview mode the read more tag and text split will not be visible. However, it will be after the post is published.

  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”
