  The Twenty Twelve demo at http://twentytwelvedemo.wordpress.com/ uses a static front page, a page template, and widgets. Here’s how to set it up on your own blog:

  1. Setup a static front page:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  2. Go to Pages, open the page you set as the front page for editing, and set it to use the “Front Page Template”:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/

  3. Go to Appearance → Widgets, and add widgets to the “First Front Page Widget Area” and “Second Front Page Widget Area” areas on the right.
