How to display the latest post in the frontpage?
-
Hi
I would like the frontpage of my blog to show the picture and first paragraph or so of my latest post, like a summary, on top of the posts list that is currently appearing.
I’ve been browsing the support pages but don’t seem to find the exact solution to acomplish this.
Help would be appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You will have to choose to use a different theme because of how Radcliffe is designed. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/radcliffe/ See here an note that only permalinked post title display on the front page is what’s designed into that theme http://radcliffedemo.wordpress.com/

Note that you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
For other themes that are not designed the way Radcliffe is there’s another option. The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.
If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.

Best wishes when it comes to finding one that suits you. There are many great themes here.
