creating a theme with single post(s) on front page

    I’m trying to locate which snippet will allow, or the parameters for which will allow side by side “single” posts.

    Here’s a little rough sketch

    the top area would be some static jQuery type slider.
    the two squared areas below would be the areas i’m trying to set up.

    Here’s another more detailed idea of my plan

    I’m thinking it would be some implementation of the following:
    <?php wp_get_single_post( $postid, $mode ) ?>

    Sorry for being such a noob, but perhaps due to not knowing exactly how to phrase the question, i wasn’t able to locate a satisfactory answer searching on my own in the codex.

    Thanks and much good karma to those with insight to share.

    Michael

    Hey Michael –

    You dont actually need to worry about getting a “single” post – there isnt any difference between that, and all the posts that wordpress grabs for the homepage.

    What I think you really want to do is limit the number of posts called using something like Query Posts, and then style them so that they’ll display the way you want to.

    Just keep in mind that the loop is going to loop over that code for each post – and then figure out how to implement that into your slider code.

    Good luck!
