Theme Development – Home Page Posts

Hi,

I’m developing a theme for a news/magazine type blog site.

On the homepage I would like to be able to manage what post shows as the homepage cover image, and also tile another 4 posts to the right of this.

How can I flag the posts in the back office to show as the cover image/post on the homepage, and also flag which posts show in tile area on the right.

Is there a machanism to add a custom field in the back office for ‘show as homepage cover’, and ‘show as homepage tile 1′, ’tile 2′, etc – and then query these posts in the theme template to show in the allocated postions?

I’ve brefily looked at ‘sticky posts’ but then I cant see a way how to control which post is displayed in the correct/allocated postion.

Any pointers in the right direction would be helpful please.

Thanks, J
