 * As you can see, the full post is showing not just the excerpt. I have the Readings
   setting set on excerpt. I’ve been searching for hours for an answer but just 
   can’t figure it.

   To change what is shown in the template, select the template you want to update
   in the Site Editor.In many cases, this will be a template called “Home Blog”,
   but this depends on how you have setup your site and **where **you want to change
   from content to excerpt.In the template, you then want to find the post content
   block. This is the block that shows the full content. Select the block, click
   on the block icon and find the tranform menu. There you can transform the content
   block to an excerpt block.Or, you can just delete the content block and insert
   the excerpt block instead if you think that is easier.
