I'm having success. Chose Static page, "welcome page I created" Installed Add Posts to Pages by By Arsham Mirshah.

Entered this code into the page: [add_posts show=4 full=true img=true h=5]

Now the only problem is the youtube video isn't showing up.

Back to the drawing board!

It looks like I've got the posts stacked correctly, and all the text is coming through. But they are still acting like excerpts. The youtube video isn't showing up and the links and bullets points aren't coming through.

Everything is getting stripped, except for the lady pic for some reason??

Oh wait, It took a while to update, but I've made progress

Thanks, braddalton, I really appreciate your help. I deleted the home.php file and uploaded the front-page.php file I created in notepad, saved and uploaded to the eleven40 theme folder where the home.php file was. But the double column is still showing up with excerpts. I just want the full posts one after another going down the front page.

Still looking for a solution. I tried one plugin that said that I could put posts onto a page, but that didn't work. It only showed the headers linked to the posts.

Back to the old drawing board.

I'm referring to both I guess. The front page has the static page of the blog page as the front page.

This doesn't have to be my solution. I just need the posts to line up on the front page, with full content, no stripping

I can delete the home.php, but how will the theme know to take it's cue from the "front-page.php" I'll create?

This doesn't work. I deleted the home.php file and nothing is changed.

I created a blog page, assigned the blog template to it, went into settings and general and chose static post as my home page and selected the blog page that had the blog template applied. Now I've got just the three columns, but the full posts are not showing up. The youtube video is just the youtube link, no longer the video and there are no pictures.

I'm glad I got rid of the little 2 column option, but will have to continue trouble shooting on how to get the full posts.

I have full text selected under settings-reading. I'm telling the blog pages to show at most 10 posts, I have 4 and only three are currently showing...

I also notice that the blog page is also stripping out all the code so there's no bullet points etc. I can't find where to make the full text show...

Figured it out:

/***** Image Header - Partial Width ********************/

.header-image #title-area, .header-image #title-area #title, .header-image #title-area #title a {
display: block;
float: left;
width: 460px;
height: 315px; (this was set to 100 and I changed it to the height of the image i placed in the header)
padding: 0;
text-indent: -9999px;
overflow: hidden;
}

This worked right away. I changed the height of the header basically, but the clickable area has remained accross the top. Is there a way to extend the clickable area.

Thanks again!
