How do I make the blog entries a summary view on my main blog page?

Can you explain what you mean? I don't think I understand. You want a summary of your blog?

I think you are referring to the "list" view vs the "table" view.

In the upper right above where the blogs are, there are 2 weird looking line diagrams that you can click on. Try clicking both and seeing which you prefer. In one of them, you get a few lines of the blog displayed on the main blog page.

I apologize, I thought I was being understandable. What I mean is on my blog, how do I make my own entires in summery view (you only see a snippit of what I wrote and you have to click the title to see the whole blog).

Im not sure if that is better?

Do what sorrel said. Go to the list of blogs, and look in the upper right-hand corner. There are two little sets of lines. Click on each one in turn to see which one you like better.

Two Voices Blog Crazy

What you want to do is create a linked blog. Select "my settings" from the drop down menu next to your avatar. Select "blogs" from the categories at the top. Check the box indicating you've read through the TOS and click next. On the next screen select the name and description of your blog and select link to an external blog. Hit finish. Click on the name of your blog on the "your blog settings" section of the user control panel (where you just were) this will take you to the configuration panel where you can set the url and other settings for the blog you want to link.

So I guess only admins can do that? Luna has hers like that.

And I dont mean ALL the blogs, I mean MY blog.

I feel like a 3 year old again trying to say the word "help" lmao (I didnt get it until I was 4).

I figured it out!!!!!!! Yayyy!!!

There is a place on your blogs setting that says "Limit the entry size on main Blog page". The default is 0. I set it to 300 and my blog posts are now in summery view instead of full view.

But I made it private. So I cant show it off.. derrnit.
