blog teaser length is controlled by the global setting. I drupal 6 this is found on admin/content/node-settings and is set at 400chars.

I could enable the teaser break button so that this could be controllable on a per-node basis. (The break button inserts the code  into the html which allows you to specify where the break occurs if you want to override this setting.

There is also a module to specify the teaser break length on a per content type basis... (in d7 this is in core)

Teaser break button - does this mean that the editor can add a break at the point where they want the teaser to end, and that sets it to appear in listings to that number of chars - which can be different every time?

yes

please enable the teaser break button and let me know how Rob and other editors can use this

I've added the teaser break button.

Instructions...

To add a break (the point where you want the teaser to end), simply hit the teaser break button (it's the last one). A horizontal dotted line will appear in the wysiwyg with the word  in it. This won't appear when viewing the node or the teaser.

Example for you to see.... I've added a break here: https://www.transitionnetwork.org/blogs/ed-mitchell/2013-11/web-strategy-update

The teaser did show:

Web strategy update This is a brief outline with notes about where the Transition Network web project is at in November 2014.

Now it shows:

Web strategy update This is a brief outline with notes about where the Transition Network web project is at in November 2014. The year 2014/15 is going to be a big year for the web project; Transition Network is undergoing a huge organisational strategy re-fresh in response to organisational needs and the big changes in the Transition movement, and it is clear to us that the current site needs to be overhauled.
