I'm a WP noob, so sorry if this question has already been answered (I'm sure it has). I've searched and checked the sticky posts with no luck.

My question is, how to I shorten the posts on the main index page? For example, I want each post to be 400px high for example with a "read more" link at the bottom.

Also, what is the easiest way to attach a thumbnail image next to each post title?

I appreciate any help! Thank you!

you mean switch the home page to excerpts? yes that has been covered a lot of times
```
function child_content($content){
  if(is_home()){
     $content = "excerpt";
  }
  return $content;
}
add_filter('thematic_content','child_content');
```
just going from memory, so that might not be perfect
