Personally, I like using get_posts() (Codex ref) for quick-and-dirty Loops. In your front-page.php template file, try the following: <?php // Create a variable to hold our custom Loop results $frontpageposts = get_posts( array( ‘numberposts’ => 2 // only the 2 latest posts ) ); // Create output only if we have results // Customize to … Read more

Trick WP::parse_request by spoofing … Read more
