You could try refreshing first :) and know that I type tags first so if you see relevant tags they are probably posted there by me. Also note I'm visually challenged and make small errors my app does not detect. As well I tend to post into more than one comment box due to my visual issues.

If you want to change the way things display on the blog, either use an auto-truncating theme or use the More tag to put the break where you want.

I've tried switching the setting to Full Text, saving it, and checking if the description was possibly reversed but it was still the same. I switched the option back to Summary, saved, and it still looks the same as Full Text.

Anyone have an idea of how I can fix this and make the Summary View work? I would really like for my main Blog page feed of recent posts not to be so long/lengthy by showing each and every post's full content :(

Hoping you amazing Tech people can assist me in fixing this. Thanks in advance!

I'd like to see the titles and then, when someone clicks on one of them, the text opens up.

You can insert "the more tag" into your posts on the first line of the body to achieve this.

As it works now, if I have three posts each five pages long, a reader must scroll thru ten pages to get to the beginning of the third post.

What I posted above does answer your question but in the case of lengthy posts you may wish to use "next page (pagination)" to split content within the posts into pages.

My posts are usually long, I would like to have them appearing shorter on my page and then readers can click on "read full text" (or something like that to read the whole post).

Also how can I have the list of all my post appear on the left hand side so readers can easier find the post they need ?

thank you.

You need to insert "the more tag" into all your posts or switch to using a theme that automatically displays only excerpts on the front page like Inuit Types or Origin or Sight.

If you stick with the same theme then see here and note that when we insert "the more tag" into a post to split the content and display only an excerpt on the front page of the blog (or the page for posts) that split does not appear in preview mode. It does not appear until we publish. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
