[support] Change home page from story to page?

[sander-martijn]

Well not every home page on the internet is a teaser list.  This 
particualar one has a random image (thanks for your help on that btw I 
got it working), two paragraphs of text that are only on that page, a 
specialized search (custom module) and 3 news items.  The news items 
will just be headers that link.  However the two paragraphs don't link 
off anywhere, so you can't see them anywhere except the homepage.  
Therefore to edit them you need to go to the content management part of 
the admin and find the story and edit it.  I was just wondering if there 
was an easier way to have the editors manage the home page content.
