   Hi, this is my first post on the forum, so please excuse me for 'taking' straight away. Hopefully when I know what I'm doing I can give a bit more too!

   I've set the articles in my blog to appear as a summary in the settings section on my dashboard, rather than the full article. Yet, as far as I can see, they're still appearing as full articles. I've logged out and viewed them and they're still like that. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

   TIA

   The blog I need help with is musingsfromanorthernvillage.wordpress.com.

   That setting will affect both your RSS feed and any email sent out to subscribers. It won't change the posts appearing on your blog.

   If your theme supports it (not all do), you can use "excerpts" or use the "more" tag.

   See here:

   Thanks very much for these links. I'm just popping out with the little ones, but I'll have a good look at them later.

   That was exactly what I needed to know. Thanks so much.
