   Currently my site shows the entire post of my last post on the home page. I'd like to show the 5 most recent posts with the featured image, a short excerpt, followed by -->Read More to the rest of the article. Then at the bottom of those 5 posts, showing pagination to the next 5 articles and so on. Very similar to TMZ.com or Perezhilton.com.

   My site is sprichie.com.

   Thanks,

   Scott

   In your index.php just change the_content() to the_excerpt()

   Here is more info on how to use excerpts - http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

   Thanks a bunch Christine.

   So just by changing this in the index.php file I will be able to see the 5 most recent posts with the featured image?
