  Is there a way to show thumbnails with excerpts on my front page instead of full posts and a large featured image?

  I found the excerpt option when writing a post but don’t know where to go from there. I know how to use the “more” option to shorten my front page posts but I’d like to display my posts as a list with thumbnails on the left, and then two or three lines of “excerpt.

  Thank you . :)

  And yes, I did pay to be able to edit the CSS and such.

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

  Note that the excerpt feature only works with certain themes and when using the excerpt box the image coding is not going to be included.

  Insert a thumbnail image at the beginning of the post. Include about 50 or fewer words and then insert the more tag and publish the post.
