Two categories should do the trick. Featured posts – This category should be applied to posts that you want to show on your home page, with that images grid.

When you perform a custom query such as this one, you have to do a bit of a “hack” to get pagination to work properly. Change this: <?php query_posts( “category_name=news&orderby=date&order=ASC&posts_per_page=2” ); ?> …to a WP_Query call: <?php $news_query = new WP_Query( “category_name=news&orderby=date&order=ASC&posts_per_page=2” ); ?> And then you need to *move your custom query object into … Read more
