   WordPress, you never fail me and I appreciate that.
   My current problem, though, is this: I feel that I in my ignorance regarding blogs have made it difficult to navigate my writings.
   You see, I use my Word Press blogs for all of my writing tasks, and find them quite well received. However I want to make them as accessible as possible.
   Any tips?
   Thank you,
   Laurel Rogers

   We want to change our settings so that only an short summary of each post is displayed on the Front Page. I changed the Reading setting to “Summary” but it didn’t change anything on the page when I refreshed. Does this not happen automatically? Any help would be much appreciated!

  The setting in Settings > Reading only changes your RSS feed.

  You can make your main page display excerpts for posts by using the More Tag: http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  If you do not have any published Pages, then you will not see the front page display option.

   Help! How do I make a certain post the first one to always appear — instead of the newest one?

   Please Help! I’m sign up an english blog account on wordpress.com and I’d would like if I can change the language because I’m spanish and all my friends are spanish too. I don’t know enough english to understand all things.

    I don’t seem to be able to find the “reading” setting in my WordPress.com. How do i retrieve that to allow followers that are not WordPress users?

    Sorry had to repost with some amendment to question.
