Post summaries provide a tiny-description of your content which usually consists of four to five sentences, which is there to give an idea to the reader about the whole story in just a few lines.

First and foremost you need to login into your blogger account. After that go to Settings >> Template >> Edit HTML >> and search for the <data:post.body/>. After finding the tag just below it paste the following piece of coding.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div class='readmore'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read More</a>
</div>
</b:if>
