 * I would like to find a way to have the posts on my main page appear in preview
   format with a picture, a title, a few lines of text and a “read more” link to
   the full post. Is there code I should know/a place to find it?

 * Check out the documentation on The Loop: [http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop)
 * Adding a loop to your own page with `the_excerpt` instead of `the_content()` 
   might be a good place to start.
