  Hi

  I would like my feed to only show a summary of each post instead of the whole thing. The reason is so when I analyse my stats, I can see what people are actually interested in clicking on instead of being able to read the whole blog without me having any statistics as feedback.

  I followed the instructions to do this, I have chosen ‘show summary’, and saved the change but the full posts are still showing.

  How can I fix this?

  Thanks!

  To show excerpts of your posts on the front page, you can use the “more” tag. This will split posts in the poistion you choose – everything before this position will be shown on both the front page and single post page, and everything after this positing will only be shown on the single post page. The front page will show a “Read More” link to continue reading after the splitting position.
