   I would like to show, only the_excerpt() - with a number of lets say four - on my front-page where I've set up my own customized template. I've start digging around the post template tags and such but I can't seem to actually get the post there.

   I get a post with no content, just a heading saying my front-page name and the time and date for that.

   Anyone might know the issue?

   It sounds like you need multiple loops - one for the front-page, and another for the posts.

   See the section titled 'Mullet Loop' here.

   you can customize the appearance of your frontpage(usually the index.php of your theme), you can put the loop

   <?php if(have_posts());?>
   <?php while(have_posts()); the_post();?>
   // The Stuff... Custom HTML & PHP Code - title - time - date
   <?php the_excerpt() ?>
   <?php else;?>
   <?php endif;?>

   i implemented it on this site
