Hi,
sorry for the late answer - I was busy a little bit, hehe. :))
For those who are still interested, I made a short howto here:

I am definitely not a blogger, but I hope you will find it useful

As I've said I used front_page module for establshing the front page and Views module for creating the SQL queries for the snippets
I created an XHMTL framework and put the queries into it, like:
<div id="sticky_content"> query: put here the lead of the sticky nodes </div> <div id="left_top_content"> query: put here the lead of newest node from term X </div> <div id="right_top_content"> query: put here the lead of newest node from term Y </div> . . . ..and so on. That's all.
AND all the display attributes are controlled by CSS!
(I plan to launch a blog -hehehe- in the near future where I would put stuffs like these, with detailed informations. I'll get back to you when I'm ready.)
Meanwhile your further questions are welcome.
Best regards, Tibor

How did you manage to get the snippets next to each other and create the sticky node? Which module is this... Thanks for the help, really useful....

So it automatically picks the latest article in each section and puts it in the front page...?
Yes. Last artiles from every node, and puts the sticky node in the red box on the top
Is the image manually or automatically picked...?
Automatically. The authors use Excerpt and Inline module. The images sized by CSS code, and magnifies nicely with Lightbox2 module.
The whole thing could be made easily with Drupal - I'm an XHTML/CSS guy but speak a little PHP which is enough for this.

Hey,
this is my work, I'm glad to hear that you like it. ;))
I made it with front page, and made the necessary queries with 'Views' module.
I took the queries and put them into an HTML-structure.
Anything else you would like to know?
Best, Tibor
