Also consider using the Panels modules to create the front page, and any other page that may have a similar rendering to the below. Can be found at http://drupal.org/projects/panels. A very versatile module.

Subject: Re: [support] how to add blocks to place in regions on my home page

2) How do I create a new block and ensure that it is editable by the
site owner? I've seen mention a few times that I should to to
"administer > blocks > add block" but I don't see this option in my site
admin; the closest thing to it is "administer > site building > blocks",
but this page does not include an "add block" function.

It really should have an add block function.  There should be two options at the top - "List" and "Add block".  What theme is your backend admin area using?  If you are using a custom theme, it is possible that it isn't printing out $tabs as it should.
