  I have changed the settings under Reading to Summary but it is still showing full text. Thinking it may only affect new postings, I added a new post after the change, but it still shows full text. Am I missing something?

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

  The reading summary affects emails. As in if someone subscribes, they will get a either a summary or full text of your post in the email.

  Ah. I didn’t get that as it was under settings for the front page and how many blogs to show. Is there a setting that will show summaries on my page? Some of my writing is fairly long and I’d like as many posts as possible to show with minimal scrolling.

  thanks

  I believe you can only do this manually. However, there are certain themes that do it for you automatically when viewing the home page.

  Any way to know which Themes? I have previewed a dozen or so, but no summary. If it’s not too much trouble, how would I do it manually. I have posts in the 2-4K word range.
