    By default, WP shows full text of latest article but I want it to only show 4-5 lines and than shows a "more" link so user can go to the article url.

    I think I can use <!--more--> tag(I don't know this will work or not) but I want this to be default feature of all the posts so I don't have to add manually this code in future poss. I am sure there will be some plugin for it :)

    hmm, I'm not sure if there is a plugin. The More tag really is the best bet - it's just a button click on the WYSIWYG box.

    In your theme change 'the_content' to 'the_excerpt'.
