Want to have a 'read more' option for my blog posts
-
For some reason my entire blog post is showing, rather than just the image, a small excerpt and then an option to ‘read more’.
Where would I find this option and how do I activate it.
Thank you :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The Reading Settings page summary setting changes the RSS feed display only and does not impact the posts on the site.
https://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG withe the actual name of your blog in that URL.
If you want to display only post excerpts on the front page or the blogs 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/The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Please Read Go Back and Edit Posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts and be sure to click Update to publish the after your editing.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

From what you’ve described, the More Tag that @timetheif described is going to be the way to go :)
