Summarize Artice/Post
-
I want to summarize my post and the “continue reading” on each post displayed on the home page. When I go into appearance, then into reading, I chose “summarize article” but it’s still not showing up on my homepage…help!
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

As suggested you should look to using the more tag, on your theme the excerpt function isn’t used on the main blog page, just in archive pages for categories/tags/authors/years/months/etc. Some themes apply this to the main page, some don’t, it’s left up to the theme author and it’s not something we can change but the more tag should give you full control!
