How do I show a preview of a post (3 posts)

    I've seen on other websites especially those using the Lightword theme that they display a preview of the post on the index page. When the reader clicks the header or a read more link they are then taken to the real post.
    How do you do that?

    Its annoying because if I make a really big post the whole post appears on the main page and from here it is not obvious how to comment on the post.

    I want my readers to get to the end of a post and see the related articles and comments section rather then another big post following directly after it.

    check the_excerpt() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt
    vs the_content() http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content
    in the front page template of your theme (possibly index.php)

    or how to use the 'more-tag' http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More
