This is a question that I see regularly on WA - how to change your blog roll to show a summary of your post instead of the full post.
Follow the video to see how to change these settings.

UPDATE: If you have Twenty Seventeen or Twenty Sixteen themes this training won't work... but check out this solution:

This resolves the problem I was talking about in my video.

Thankfully my Theme makes it easy, but I did not know how until I started playing around with my Theme's admin. I got a little help from Marion Black too, as she uses the same Theme as mine. This training is great. I tried a different Theme with my second website but it would not allow full size photos on the full post,. I gave up and went back to my Weaver extreme Theme :) For a full year, I did not know why my Website did not have the excerpt style, and I wondered what a featured image was,( I knew I must be missing something! ). This training is needed here, even if it does not work with every Theme. It will get people thinking and trying out new things, like I did :)

Ooohhhh noooo! Now we have 2 people with that problem. What a pain in the ass. You know I was researching different ways to do that and some of the suggestions were to edit CSS - eek like not my forte and scary stuff. Plus then have to learn how to add a child theme and I don't understand how that works :( Or other option was to add a plugin in and edit each post to show an excerpt - not exactly user friendly or viable long term. I wouldn't want to have to manually make each post an excerpt when publishing it. I hope someone gives a more viable solution
Maybe this is something we should ask Kyle or support? They may have the solution.
I'm so sorry but if you have the same theme then I doubt this will work :( It is the only theme I have come across that it doesn't work with.

The question is, how do I ask Kyle? I only have 12 articles so far, maybe I should switch themes... I did edit the css for my adsense and I was very uncomfortable with that. I did not make a child theme. Afterwards I got a plug in to do that for me.
The training was great and very comprehensive. Not really sure what to do now but I am sure I will figure it out.
