 * Hi,
 * I am looking to change my homepage, instead of having the 6 most recent posts,
   I would like my homepage to be:
    The widget that shows the most recently published
   post, at the top of the page, followed by the “About Me” section.
 * How do I create a new area to make this possible?
    Thanks!
