Designing Home Page
-
When i go to my home page, i want it to have blocks of my titles with the feature image of blog posts. I want to be able to click on the image/title and then see the blog, This should all generate from the home page. I am having trouble figuring out how to make that happen.
The blog in question is: justbrettmn.wordpress.com
Also – If this theme doesn’t have something like that, please suggest some if you know of any. I deff want this feature as well as side bar options.
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, while there isn’t a theme (that I know of*) that only shows the featured image and post titles, here is a list of themes that automatically shows post excerpts on your home/blog page: https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts
Another option, which is a bit more involved but which may give you the effect you are looking for, is using a static front page with the display posts shortcode:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/Getting the exact display you want with that combination may require the CSS Customization upgrade and a bit of work. If this is relevant, let me know.

Hi brettdburger!
Have a look at the Cubic (https://wordpress.com/theme/cubic/) or Photo Blog (https://wordpress.com/theme/photo-blog/) themes as they can do what you are looking for.
Hope this helps!

Good catch @epoolman!
Another theme you might consider is Altofocus https://wordpress.com/theme/altofocus or many of these grid themes https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/grid-layout

Ugh! These antihistamines are overruling my brain today. That last bit should have read “or any of these other grid themes.”
Let us know if you need any further help.
