  I’d like to make the posts on my front page show a defined number of lines before the “Continue reading” link.

  This is just a prompt. Have you read Custom Design – Frequently Asked Questions?

  Very well versed in that and I know “Sight doesn’t give the option for summary vs. full post in anything other than RSS feeds :)

  The number of lines shown is set in the theme PHP script files and we cannot access or change those.

  You can try creating your own custom excerpt for each post and see it Sight is set up to use custom excerpts. I don’t know if it is or not. Some honor excerpts in category and archive pages only while other will honor it on the posts on the main page as well.
