<p>Frontpage Manager allows you to customize how the posts appear on your frontpage in several different ways.</p>
<ul>
<li>you can have the posts drawn from all categories or a subset of your choosing </li>
<li>you can choose how many posts should display (this is distinct from WordPress’ built-in Reading Settings which applies to all blog pages)</li>
<li>you can have each post limited in length by number of characters, words, or paragraphs</li>
<li>you can choose which HTML tags should be stripped from posts</li>
<li>you can specify a read more link, etc. if you like </li>
<li>you can hide the category in the page title, if you wish</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin will attempt to make sure that any tags that are interrupted by the post-limiting feature are matched so as not to cause formatting issues.</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>I have tested this plugin from WordPress 2.8.</p>
