   I'm running a little blog here: http://blog.petrilopia.net/
   And I would like to have short "couple of lines" kind of thing on the front page like I will easily have with posts.
   Is it possible or do I need to do that manually?

   What do you mean a couple of lines that you could have easy with post but not pages? I am confused, your post is very vague.

   If you want to add a "pinned" could of lines before your blog post on your index page, just edit your index.php page find where the blog content div is at and add a div right before it with the text that you want or you can made the page and call for with a php include.

   the code would look something like this and the page name will coincide with the name of the file "coupleoflines.phph" name in the include

   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/coupleoflines.php'); ?>

   Sorry... I'm really bad on explaining things even my own language :-D
   I mean that normally wordpress put automatically short versions of post on the frontpage (newer first and so on) but that same doesn't happen with pages.
   I pretty much just have pages on my "blog" and I would like to have automatically short version (couple of first lines or longer) of my pages to my frontpage.

   Did that explain it any better?

   "Click to read more" would be good thing to have but I could live without it too. If somebody for some weird reason want to read whole page she/he can click topic/subject line and see whole page... or something.

   Okay so how about a static page (as a front page) with excerpts to all pages? Let me know and if so I will try and work the code for you or find a plugin, I am sure there is one :)

   Static page as a front page sounds OK.
   I actually had a short PHP script that listed new pages but it didn't have that "short version" part it just had subject lines.
   I would be really happy if you could find that kind of plugin =) I have tried but with no luck =(
