 * So I am rather new to WordPress but I have figured out most things along the 
   way but have not been able to figure out what would seeming be something simple.
   I know I am doing something dumb and overlooking it but simply can’t figure it
   out.
    So my site is set up at the moment with a dynamic front page that lists
   current posts fully with all the media. I like how it looks but I want to create
   a static page that uses the same format and posts the whole current post but 
   I would like it to simply show the top 3-5 in a widget area at the top with different
   content below it. I can set up the page exactly as I want but for the life of
   me I cannot find a widget that will simply show the full post. Every widget I
   try shows a clickable summary without associated media. What widget will simply
   display recent full post content like the dynamic front page does but instead
   in a static front page inside a widget area? Thanks and I apologize if I am overlooking
   something stupid.
