I'm playing around with a drupal 7.8 installation. I figured out how to make a basic page sticky at the top of my home page with article pages appearing below it. The basic page that is sticky at the top is the home page but it is summarised, the user must click on the Read More link to read the full details of the home page.

However, what I would like to do is have my home page as a full static page (i.e. so it is not summarised). I would also like my article pages to appear on a dedicated News page. So my questions are:

1. How can I create a full static page on my home page that is not summarised?
2. How do I create a separate dedicated page which contains all my Articles?

Thanks for your help in advance.

For number 1)
Create a static page for front page and then in http://example.com/admin/config/system/site-information
Set Default front page to your page.

For number 2)
Install the views module and create a page to display whatever content.

I think this is what you are trying to achieve.
