  How do I get only the titles and a short summary to appear when someone clicks on my categories instead of them having to go through a full post to get to the next one?

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

  Hi there !

  You can create a page that will list articles from a specific category, and you’ll be able to modify certain parameters so it will fit your needs.

  You can learn more about here : http://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

  In your case, you could use a shortcode like this one :

  [display-posts category="YOURCAT" posts_per_page="-1" include_excerpt="true"]

  Or you could change themes to one that does this automatically.
