   I'm looking to have the front page of a blog display posts in several different sections. something similar to this:

   there seem to be several spaces that all have unique posts in them. I know the site is not running wordpress, but is this something that could achieved?

   is it possible to use a theme to determine these different sections where posts go, and is it possible to assign the placement somehow?

   Sure, but you also need to have some working knowledge of HTML/CSS and WordPress theme tags.
   Some themes which have theme options page in admin - magazine style

   http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/technical-speech
   This theme has no theme options page in admin but looks good.

   I have at least basic knowledge of HTML and CSS as well as some basics regarding editing themes, but this sort of post placement is out of my range.

   thanks for the suggestions, I will most likely give magazine-basic a try. the other two seem to have a very basic post structure though..?

   I'm looking for a way to visually sort posts into two or three different areas on the front page. the sample page on magazine-basic seems to have this, so I will try and have a look into how they are sorted in that theme.
