Using Optional Excerpts

Hi Everyone,

I’m working on a new blog, and I keep coming up with new ideas for it. Right now, I’m using a Page as a static front page and the Blog is on a Page named “Blog”.

See it here: https://www.realauctionincome.com

What I’d like to do is add excerpts from the blog right underneath the introduction on the front page… just maybe 5 blog post excerpts. I know I can use Optional Excerpts, but I just don’t know exactly how to do it the way I want it done.

Will I have to make another Page Template? Any help would be great.

Thanks
