    On my blog: http://benintendo.wordpress.com I want to get a summary for certain posts because they are too long with the pictures and all but when I select 'For each article, show: summary' and I fill in the optional summary, I don't see the summary on my frontpage... Do I need to use some sort of code?

    You can insert the "read more" tag in your post!

    Since you're on WP.com, you can edit the template code. Normally to show only summary, you use the_excerpt instead of the_content. Most theme automatically do this if view category or archive.

    Using <!--more--> would do :)
