Hello,
I want to create multiple frontpages that are showing the latest posts. In 'settings -> reading' you can choose for a static front page, but this isn't what i am looking for! (or is it?!) I just want to create different front pages with different lay-outs.
Sorry for my English :) hope you guys can help me :)
There is only one front page, which can either be a page or a list of posts.
If you mean that you want more than one list of posts, where each list is of a different type, then you want category lists. To add category lists to your Primary Navigation menu, you need to create a custom menu and make it your Prime Navigation menu. Then you add your pages and category lists to that menu.
If you don't know how to do any of this, please post again and I'll try to explain.
Cheers

I'm want something like this:
http://themeforest.net/item/bigfeature-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/51702
under example pages you see multiple frontpages. How did they do this? Did they wrote in the documentation that they have to change names in FTP? Like index1.php, index2.php into index.php ? Doesn't sound user friendly!
Hard to say what's going on there, because the URLs don't give anything away. However, I'd say that the pages that show as lists of posts are category lists. If that's the case, it's just a case of creating the categories, adding some posts associated with those categories and then adding the categories to your Primary Navigation menu.
The 'Home' page looks like a category list as well, because it's not showing things that crop up in other lists as far as I can see.
One thing that would worry me would be how to make a category list the front page. There's no problem about making a category list and calling it 'Home', but that's not the same as having it appear as the 'index' file. That's not a problem on the demo, because there is no 'index' file. The 'index' file shows at http://themeforest.net/ and is a 'static' page, which is easy to do.

I think it is a static page and that they made this with shortcodes. I was reading the documentation and I saw this:

I don't know how I am going to solve this in my template. A lot of options!
Thanks for your help :)

Do you think a static page with shortcodes is a good solutions to get the results I want?
To be honest, I don't know enough about shortcodes to be able to give you a good answer. Maybe somebody else can help.
