Question:
What i want is that when i have my main page with my posts, i only want them to be previews of the articles…not the whole article. This however is not happening. my “main article” comes up showing everything but it would be nice if you could only get a preview + a photo or something and you have to click on it to open it. I hope this makes sense.

Kind regards
carla

Answer:
Hi Carla,
The trick is to insert the “More-tag” in your text, where you want the frontpage teaser to end. Place your cursor at the right spot and hit “More-tag” in the WordPress editor (if you cant find it, hover you mouse over the various buttons in the wordpress editor to see the help text). Remember to save the changes.

As for thumbnails-display on the frontpage as well, you will have to use a theme for your site that allows this. This option is not availiable in the default Twenty Eleven theme. You might want to try the Canvas theme, which will support frontpage thumbnails. You will find videos on how to modify the Canvas theme here: http://wordpress.mediajungle.dk/tag/canvas/
