  Hi! I really appreciate your help.

  I want to use my blog in this way:

  * 3 categories (brand,event,blog)
  * Posts is sorted under 1 of these categories
  * I use a single column wordpress, with no sidebar

  I want my startpage to be a ‘summary page’ where the three categories are displayed with graphics, and the most commented post is listed under the graphic.

  The effect should be a stylis frontpage where you’ll find the classic blog-post-page when you navigate further.

  How is it possible to solve this? Or should I approach the problem in any other way?

  Thanks!
  WFSE

  It sounds like you would need to create a static front page and add the category images/links and most commented post content manually to that page. Please see http://support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ for setting your blog to display a static front page.

  When you set your blog to display a static front page, you will also need to designate a page where your blog posts will appear. You will need to link this somehow, as well. You can easily do this with the Pages Widget, but I see that you do not want a sidebar at all.

  If it’s true what you’re saying that’s a ‘hole’ in WP. Better upp is that i create a static PHP-page that is designed like my blog and add code to that page.

  Thanks!

  You will have to host a PHP page on another site. Script is not allowed here due to security concerns.
