How to show summary of posts on front page?

    I want to show partial post, and not the entire post.

    Example: Techcrunch.com shows partial post.

    How can one do that in Wordpress?

    you can either use the <!--more--> tag or edit the theme.

    If you are going to edit the theme:

    edit home.php

    Find 
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    Code (markup):
    Replace with
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    Code (markup):

    This is known as a "teaser" just put the <!--more--> marker at the end of the part you want to be the teaser...

    Log into wordpress - go to settings - go to reading - and where you see

    check summary instead of full posts.

    Of course you can use plugins for your feeds etc.

    You can use the php excerpt tag

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt

    and then add a link to post <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more</a>

    or u can show the_excerpt_rss

    theres a plugin excerpt reloaded, u could use to customize excerpt
