  When I do a blog entry the whole entry shows on the about me page therefore if i have say 50 views in a day they all show on the same page and dont show me what people are looking at how do I set it up so there is a small excerpt which people click on to read the whole articl;e.

  I think thats the problem I am having?

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

  A Page is not a Post. The two are very different. https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  re: the more tag in Posts
  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.

  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

  To control the number of posts displayed on the front page go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most _ posts
