 * Hi , I have it all up and running but want to basically have a simple site with
   a static front page and then sub sections / catagories each which cover a diff
   topic, is this possible?

 * If you’re using 2.1, the staic front page can be done from
    admin -> Options -
   > Reading It’s fairly self explanatory. You can have as many categories as you
   want.

 * Yes, you can have several categories.
 * You should even be able to place posts from different categories to different
   pages, if you create page templates, copy/paste “the loop” from the codex to 
   the template files, and add category selection in the code/templates. Not sure,
   though.

 * 1) you need to log in as admin
    2) you need to open “option” and then “reading”
   3) make the selections 4) submit

 * OK – create a “[Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages)” that you want to use
   as your staic front. After creation, go to the admin section and assign that 
   page to be static front.
    Create as many cats as you want and create posts to
   assign to whatever cat.
