  I don’t want full posts on my home page. But for the preview of those posts, I want there to be a picture instead of excerpts if the text. How can I do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  See your theme description and setup instructions here https://wordpress.com/theme/independent-publisher-2

  Note that is states Featured Images on single pages and posts will replace any Custom Header. https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/

  Most newer themes display excerpts by default. This Themes showcase filter lists all themes that display excerpts by default: https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts

  Most newer themes also have the Content Options panel in the Customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/, which allows you to choose between displaying the full post or an excerpt.

  See also: content options https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/content-options/

  If you want to display only post excerpts on the front page or the blogs page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.

  The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

  Please Read Go Back and Edit Posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts and be sure to click Update to publish the after your editing.
