Read more tags?
-
My read more tags are not working properly despite me following instructions to copy text as plain text from a word document. They can be seen when I’m in ‘edit’ mode but when I view the page they are not appearing. I’m trying to create my ‘About me’ page, and it’s 1000 words long so I’m trying to find a way of truncating the text so people don’t have to read the whole thing in one go as i realise that’s off-putting on a webpage. Is it possible to have more than one read more tag on each page? That is what I have tried to do under several different headings.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the ext does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
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
