  Okay great. That should work. Now how do I put the footer (with the links) that I currently have on my homepage on to the footer of my blog page?

  … sorry about all the questions.

  Really, what I want is for the front page to show a small feed that shows clip-its of my latest posts. Maybe even in a slide show format. Am I going about this the wrong way?

  There are limits to what can be done here at wordpress.COM. With self-hosted blogs, the only limits are on either the availability of plugins to do what you want, a theme that does what you want, or your skill level with PHP to build your own theme or plugin.

  We can do slideshows here, but they are images only. You cannot link the images in a slideshow to a post.

  You can use an RSS widget to show your latest posts and configure it to show some of the text from the post. Typically it will pull the first XX number of characters or words (don’t remember which) from the feed for each post. You can also configure the number of posts for it to display.

  What links are you talking about on your “homepage”?

  You have the sidebar hidden right now. You will have to un-hide that ( .page #sidebar ) and then use positioning to move the RSS widget (or the entire sidebar) to the location you want it on that particular page. You will then have to decide if you want that to show on other pages as well (which you probably do not) and that will bring up having to specifically hide the sidebar on the other pages.

  Projects, contact and blog are images that you have in the body of the page itself. For the other pages, you will have to add those images to the bodies of the other pages.

  For the blog page, you could add the images to perhaps the “alert” box, which will appear at the top of all posts (appearance > theme options. Just copy out the code and then put it into the alert box.
