[support] Question regarding building a start page

[Christian Schoepplein]

Hi Drupalers :),

I'm new to drupal and doing my first steps with the system and pages 
now. I use drupal 6.9 and the standard Garlant theme. I also should 
mension that I'm a blind computer user, but as far as I can say drupal 
seems to be very accessible and good to use with the special 
screenreader software I need to work.

To build a website I created new nodes of the type article and page. 
Both nodes appear on the startpage of my drupal site now and I can fully 
access them by clicking the "Read more" link. But what I like to do is 
to build a start page with a static section, maybe a little wellcome 
text, and a dynamic section like it is presented on my start page now 
(some kind of news with the "Read more" links). How can this be done 
with drupal. I played arround with the system but I was not able to 
setup this kind of page :(. Is it a matter of the theme I'm using or 
what do I need to do to build that kind of pages?

Thanks a lot for anny helpfull tips!


Cheers,

  Christian
