    Hello I need help in setting up home page where you will be seeing the contents preview all in the first page and if someone clicks on individual post image or header they go to the content.

    Just to let you know, there's a wordpress subforum:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=110

    Give a look at the more tag. With it you can control what's displayed on the front page and folks will have to click through to see the rest of the article:

    Code (markup):
    Hope this helps,

    I want to have my home page look like a small magazine where the headings are seen and if someone clicks on that,they go to the main page.

    Yes you can do that.

    Just follow this tutorial: How to Create a Custom Home Page in WordPress

    It is a two part tutorial. So first make a custom page template... that tutorial is also linked from the tutorial I listed above. If you have any questions please ask in the comments of that post.
