 * Hi. I’m running a newspaper’s WordPress site next year, and I’m trying to make
   some big changes. One question I have is: can you rearrange the way that your
   latest posts come up on the front page? Now, I just have the most recent eight
   posts coming up on my homepage, but I want it so that there will be boxes or 
   whatever with cateogry names and the like four or five most recent posts under
   that category will show up. For example, is it possible to have boxes with the
   four latest News articles, the four latest Opinion articles, etc.?
 * Thanks–your help is really appreciated.

 * Yes
 * Go to the WordPress Free Themes directory [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/)
   and find a theme whose homepage is laid out along the lines of what you are looking
   for. Download that theme. Now you can look at its source code to see how the 
   homepage layout is being accomplished. You can either use that theme and modify
   it to your needs, or apply its style of coding to create a new homepage for the
   existing site.
 * Or you could purchase a custom theme that already contains more of the features
   you are looking for and use that as your starting point.
    Google for WordPress
   premium magazine theme or WordPress premium newspaper theme.
