   Does anybody know if it would be possible to have posts in a condensed or 'snippet' form on the home page. And then the user would click on the (read more) link to go to the full post? Is there code that I could employ or do I have to pick a completely different theme?

   Thanks for your time.

   Hi

   See this page
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt

   In the template file used to display your homepage (in many themes index.php) you change the_content() to the(excerpt)

   For your homepage I would do it like this
   

   <?php if ( is_front_page() ) {
   	the_excerpt();
   } else {
   	the_content(... leave whatever is between parentheses the way it is... );
   } ?>

   Make a copy of the file before you change it, in case you make a mistake.
