Email summaries not entire blog

When I push out a blog, how do I make it so that only a summary is sent via email, and not the entire blog? I would like to make sure people are actually coming to the site. If it makes a difference, I only have a free page.

Thanks in advance
Max

Hi there – Try the following to send out a summary email notification to your followers when you publish a new post.

1. Go here: https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/

2. Find “Feed Settings”.

3. Enable the setting for “Limit feed to excerpt only”.

4. Click the Save Settings button to save the change.

Once you have done this, all post email notifications to your followers from this point forward will show only a summary. They will need to click to read the full post.

Hi there,

From wp-admin, you go to Settings > Reading and then click the Summary radio button.

Thanks to both of you! This works. Feeling a bit like an idiot….;-)

No worries; you shouldn’t: it’s kind of an obscure setting. We accidentally just got ahead of ourselves and answered you twice. :)
