  When I post a post to Facebook, it appears only as a link, with no explanation. How would I make WordPress post a summary, or the first couple of paragraphs, with a Continue Reading link, or something? I’m thinking people will be more likely to check things out if they have an idea what I’m talking about in a post..

  And I did search help; just couldn’t figure out where to look. Thanks!

  If you enter text into the excerpt box on a post, that content should appear when your post appears on Facebook.
