                        $content_post = get_post($my_postid);
                        $content = $content_post->post_content;
                       	echo $content; ?>

  • Hi.
    You would need to use the_excerpt() function for that from your index.php file, which controls the layout of your home/front page.
    More info here.
    Cheers!
