Hi guys, I've gotten Drupal 5.2 installed.

I've gotten my menu listing accurately & got the following checked under the publishing option node:
Publishing options
Published
Promoted to front page

I've gotten my break up as well:

With the above done, I've only gotten part of my page promoted to the front page of the site. I have to click on the page link to see the full post. What is it that I'm doing wrong?

Sounds like you're seeing a teaser of the content. Take a look at modifying the teaser length.

What node would the "teaser" length fall under? I have hopped into that post but I don't think it really solves my issue.

administer -> post settings

after you change that setting, you have to edit and resave your node so that the new settings takes effect.

I have the following as the current setting:

Post settings
Number of posts on main page:
10

The default maximum number of posts to display per page on overview pages such as the main page.
Length of trimmed posts:
600 characters

The maximum number of characters used in the trimmed version of a post....

Preview post:
(x) Optional
Required

Now I have toyed with the number of trimmed character per posts from 600 characters to 2k characters, it doesn't seem to change anything for me though...

Changing the trimmed post length only works for current and future nodes.
But not with already submitted nodes.

You must re-submit the nodes to get new trimmed teaser.
