I have found that many of the free templates I start with when designing a blogger site have the "feature" of showing every post with a "read more" option.

If not, begin reading through the code looking for the beginning and ending parameters surrounding the "createSummaryAndThumb" with a little luck, and some time, you will delete out the necessary code.

Good luck!
