    Hey all,
    I’ve just started learning WordPress and I am wondering if there is a way to set up the main page to have two or three different columns and each of them display a different category. The idea is to have the latest posts from each category in their own column. Thanks in advance.

    Yup.
    I’d suggest grabbing the Trident template from here:

    Then you need to look at the category tags, and place those in the side columns maybe ?

    You know, I’m thinking of making a plugin that will make this easier.
    What I would do in the meantime is use a cheap work-around via SSI.
    Use the XBitHack so the SSI is processed in index.html.
    Create an index2.php file where you’ve removed most of the html except that which appears inside the Loop.
    In an index.html file, make the three columns contain this code:
    < !--#include virtual="/wordpress/index2.php?cat=1" -->
    < !--#include virtual="/wordpress/index2.php?cat=2" -->
    < !--#include virtual="/wordpress/index2.php?cat=3" -->
