  Today I got an email with the Daily digest. I don’t particularly like this as it shows the entire text of my blog thus eliminating the need for a reader to go there. Can I opt out of Daily digest or modify it in some way to show only a lead-in excerpt. Any suggestions?

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

  When we subscribe to a URL https://wordpress.com/following/edit/ we have the ability to select the frequency with which we receive the posts (instantly, daily, weekly, never). Delivery settings https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/

  We do not have the ability to picky choosy the format that was chosen by the blogger whose posts we choose to subscribe to. And, I think that’s what you are asking here but I could be misunderstanding you.

  Re: your own blog
  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
