FYI - The search function on this site isn’t working, so apologies for posting as I am sure it has been previously answered. I just get a 505 error when I search.

1. I am looking for a way to show a preview of my blog posts on a static home page. How do I do this?

2. On my blog page with all the previews there is a lot of white space between the titles, images, paragraphs, etc. so very few posts are visible at a time. Is there a way to show smaller previews so more are visible at once?

Thanks!
