  I always use the <more> tag near the beginning of my posts, so only the first paragraph of each post appears on my home page.

  This makes the home page look quite dull, so I was wondering if there’s any way to get thumbnails of pictures that appear later in the post to appear on the home page as well?

  (I hope that makes sense.)

  There are themes which support custom excerpts on the front / home page. There are more themes which support custom excerpts on archive and category pages. Many of the newer themes will show featured images as well. But Blackletterhead is not one of them.
  Here is an old article with some themes which support custom excerpts:
