 * Hi
 * I like the way that [http://news.bbc.co.uk](http://news.bbc.co.uk) splash page
   is layed out, with the important topics taking more of the page space and having
   their own images. Surely there is a way of doing this with some modifications
   to the CSS and PHP.
 * Anyone have any ideas?
 * Thanks
 * Usayd

 * I think the theme that [Theron Parlin](http://squibble.com) is developing will
   have something simliar. A featured post with more space and smaller-fonted (smaller-
   fonted is a word?) sections for previous entries. If you were thinking about 
   developing something like this you might want to wait to have a look at that 
   code before you do.

 * Hmm.. that sounds interesting, but I really wanted to know if any PHP functions
   availiable in wordpress allow the full use of this?

 * Usayd, eragle was actually refering to this: [http://www.squible.com/squible/](http://www.squible.com/squible/)
 * It looks very cool.
    If i have a business blog, i would use it for sure.

 * On a local test I have done something similar just by using the `home.php` template
   and having on it multiple [Loops](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) + recent
   comments plugin.
    I got a lot of help for coding from Kafkaesqui in this thread:
   [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/28203#post-193667](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/28203#post-193667)
   and you also can take a look at 2 posts on ifelse’s blog [http://ifelse.co.uk/archives/2005/03/31/query_posts/](http://ifelse.co.uk/archives/2005/03/31/query_posts/)
   [http://ifelse.co.uk/archives/2005/04/08/query_posts-redux/](http://ifelse.co.uk/archives/2005/04/08/query_posts-redux/)
   that deal with the same issue.

 * Ok thanks, do you have a demo of what you’ve actually made?

 * I have it only on my local xampp install – and not really finished. However if
   you go to ifelse’s blog (homepage) you can see applied what he describes in two
   articles.
