  I want to add excerpts and images from my post page onto my home page?

  Currently, the front page of newportpartners.wordpress.com is setup to display your latest posts. So, you should see your latest posts there by default. If you would like to truncate the amount of content shown (so only show the opening paragraph), the easiest way to do that would be to use the More tag as explained here:

  Can you give that a try?

  Same issue as the previous question. This is actually the site I am working on. https://energycodeny.wordpress.com/

  Ah – thanks for clarifying! The easiest way to do this would be to use the Display Post shortcode explained here:

  Display Posts Shortcode

  Can you give that a try?

  Thanks for the help. I am almost there. Here is what it currently looks like. https://energycodeny.wordpress.com/

  Is it possible to get it over to the right more so it’s in line with the other blog?

  I was able to solve this problem by adding a text widget and copying that code into the space.
