   i'm trying to get the homepage of this site to look like this rendering.

   I'm using the Twenty Eleven theme.

   The homepage is just a regular page, no special template, though on Reading Settings I selected it as the homepage.

   So I would like to add some php code the bottom in order to bring in the excerpts and thumbnails from 4 specific posts, just like in the jpg rendering.

   What's the best way to go about this? some sort of wp_query code? or get_posts? And how do I set it up? This sort of custom php code is not my strong suite so please bear with me.

   Please advise. Thanks in advance!

   Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

   For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

   My child theme is active. No changes have been made to the parent Twenty Eleven theme. So I'm ready to rock...
