How to make a page show fully vs. truncated with the "read more..." link on the front page?

Here is a screenshot of what I'm trying to emulate. This is a DotNetNuke site that I whipped up using the standard DarkKnight skin.

The areas marked with a cyan rectangle are the areas that I need to be able to show.

Now, here is the same thing in the Newswire skin: (I only have a couple of the areas built)

Am I going to have to create blocks or modules?

Number of ways to do this , but one is to create a block and page view for your particular content type. Have a "Read More .." at the footer of the block linking to the full page view.

As I said, I don't want a read More, I want to show FULL CONTENT, not truncated and no read more.
This is NOT for a blog or articles.

In that case, use views to show all content and not use a pager.
