Are Excerpts Really On Their Way?

    Am I missing something? I read over a year ago about subscription “excerpts” and “Read more” links were on the table, but I see no evidence of that in my always latest JetPack and WP gold. I would add my voice to those who REALLY REALLY would appreciate this capability.?I do not want the entire “unformatted” text sent to subscribers. I want to “tease” them to come to the web site via a quick link. I use many formatting shortcodes which of course do not roll into the email, and I often edit, so not only do subscribers get an ugly version, they get an old version of the article… ??

    ???To me, “notification” denotes a link or teaser, not the whole schmoe…

    It’s already possible to limit the amount of content you send to your subscribers. You can try one of the following methods:

    • If you go to Settings > Reading in your dashboard, you can change your Feed Settings to “Summary”. Once you save your changes, all subscription emails will only include an excerpt of your post, with a link to continue reading on the site.
    • If your Feed settings are set to “Full Post”, you can split the content of each one of your blog posts in 2 parts thanks to the More tag:
      <!--more-->

      Everything that is above the More tag will appear on your home page and in the subscription emails, followed by a link inviting users to click to continue reading; everything that is below that tag will only appear on the post’s page.
