  I’m helping a friend amend her blog, I can’t figure out how to change the format of how the posts are displaying with the “latest posts” as the homepage.
  If you click through to the post it will show the headers and paragraph breaks, but on the homepage as it stands it shows a big lump of text. Is there a way to amend this? Ideally there’s an excerpt and an image & title.

  Thanks in advance.

  Also I can’t figure out why it’s displaying the [jetpack-related-posts] tag at the bottom of every page, or how to remove it.

  Hi there!

  It looks like the homepage already displays the excerpt and the Read More button; however, the excerpts are quite long.
  You could try adding the More Block to the text after the desired excerpt:

  As for the [jetpack-related-posts], I’d suggest asking directly on Jetpack’s support forums: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack/.

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ is also a great place for general questions about WordPress.
  The site you mentioned is only connected to a WordPress.com site via Jetpack, and so our support here is very limited.

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites hosted elsewhere; we can only assist with sites hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:
