   If is easy to limit the characters of a blog post on the homepage by using "more" tag so that the visitors can see the rest of the post by clicking it.
   But if you want that on the homepage, the posts should have a small image also, which does NOT show on the post page , how do you do it.

   if you are using wordpress there is a wordpress function called the_excerpt(); which will fetch you a post summary instead of the_content(); which fetches the entire post.And regarding the thumbnail you have 2 options..

   1) You can either use timthumb(a thumbnail generator) to automatically generate a thumbnail of an image in your post(probably the first image in the post) or
   2)you can specify a custom thumbnai image for each post using the wordpress custom fields..

   I don't think there is any plugin to do all these for you. So you will have to manually code it..

   And if you are using blogger,then you can use this one - http://www.bloggerplugins.org/2009/06/automatic-post-summaries-for-blogger.html
