And you can include a picture there. (200px wide I think)

Or I think you can choose a featured image and wp.com will truncate your posts after a certain number of words. I have not used this function: only the custom excerpts…

No not exactly...If you go to http://www.chateau-theme.com/ and scroll down to the bottom of the featured post, there is an option seen "check out some previous articles" and 2 are featured under that section. I would like my home page display a little more content instead of just the latest post and it appears this option shown on the chateau theme website is one step closer in the direction...any ideas? Thanks!

http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/recent-posts-widget/
or perhaps "top posts and pages" widget?

When looking at the template for the Chateau theme I notice there is a section toward the bottom entitled "Check Some Previous Articles" and underneath are some recent posts. (See site http://www.chateau-theme.com/)

I would like to add this feature to my Chateau site (www.hipandhealthykids.com); however am uncertain how to do so. Any ideas?

Thanks!
