    hi, i have a question:
    i would like to make my front page more brief. which means that for each post i would like to have just one picture and maybe the first four - five lines of my post and then the reader could click on it and read the rest of the entry.
    how can i do that?
    thank you

    here is my blog so that you know what i mean:

    find the relevant templates in your theme and try replacing:

    <?php the_content(); ?>

    with,

    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    Don't edit the Twenty Ten theme! Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.

    looks like you are using Twenty Ten theme.

    in loop.php, find this around line #138:

    <?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>

    and try replacing it with:

    <?php the_excerpt( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>

    please also consider esmi's suggestion.
