 * Now in my homepage there are the excepts of last ten posts. Can I modify this?
   I.e. Visualizing all the text only of lastest post and the excepts of later ones?

 * Just use [the_content](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content) 
   for the latest post, and [the_excerpt](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt)
   for the others.
 * I’m no PHP expert, but I would try something along these lines:
 * `$first=true;
    //the loop starts: while (have_posts()) : //...somewhere it will
   display posts if ($first) { the_content('More...'); $first=false;} else { the_excerpt('
   Read full post...'); } endwhile;

 * Thank You, but your lines make errors…
    Can I visualize only one category posts
   in homepage? How?

 * Ah, of course there would be errors, those were just sort of like pseudo-code
   to outline the idea. You’d need to find out the actual function calls from the
   Codex, I suppose.
 * Have a look at the pages on The Loop, and perhaps on Adding Asides. The former
   to get to know where to make changes, the latter describes handling posts based
   on their categories.
