Showing preview of post rather than full post
-
Hey guys, so I’m using a Hemingway Rewritten theme for my blog:
https://lachlanmcfarlane.wordpress.com/
And I want my posts to show up on the blog page as “previews”, i.e. show the title and then only, say, the first 100 words of the post, so people can click on it if they want to read the whole thing, rather than showing the whole thing on the front page.
Many of my posts are long essays, and you have to scroll down a lot to see the earlier posts.
Help would be much appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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 active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

Brilliant.
The read more tag is better than I could have hoped for.
Did not know that was there.Thank you very much!
