Posts don't show properly

Hi all,

My website (using an Omega child theme) is having some trouble with displaying posts. I have a page ‘Home’, which I would like to be a dynamic frontpage, showing the latest posts. So I configured in the settings that the frontpage should show posts. When I click ‘Home’ in the menu on my site, it leads me to an empty page with the title ‘Home’. When I click on the logo of my site, it leads me to the actual frontpage with the posts, but it seems like there is no connection to the page ‘Home’. However, here is the thing: in the ‘Pages’ area in the WP admin panel, I’m told that ‘Home’ is the frontpage and post page. So… I don’t understand where it goes wrong.

Also, I changed the post settings to show an except. This doesn’t work – the full post is still shown everywhere.

Any ideas? Thank you so much. It’s really been a struggle.
