Make my Blog Posts Page into the Front Page
-
How can I make my Blog Posts my front page, or show a highly abbreviated list of each post. Readers could choose from the list what they want to read rather than drilling down through entire posts, all on one page. PS: spare yourself your hatred of Conservatives; I won’t care.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Streetdetective,
The instructions on how to make blog posts your front page will be in the Reading Settings. Detailed instructions on how to do that is located here:http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/reading-settings/
For the second part of that question, you might have to look for a theme that has that feature. There is a large repository of themes here that you might want to take a look at to see what meets your need.

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.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/Alternatively, 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
To control the number of posts displayed on the front page go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading
Blog pages show at most _ posts
“save changes”
