How to use post loop widget, blogroll on static front page

  • I’m trying to create a static front page for my blog
    tetrablog.co
    That has a gallery at the top of the page and then excerpts from 5 blog posts. I’m fine with the way my blog as a front page looks with the featured images and “more” tag, but I really want this page for SEO.

    It looks like the page loop widget through site origin should do it. When I run my query for “posts” it pulls up all 69 (I know, right?) or my posts. Great. Then I only want 5. Great.

    But when I preview, it has 5 excerpts that say “Nothing Found: Ready to publish your first post? Get started here”. FIVE. TIMES.

    Is it something in the template? I’ve tried all 4. Do I have to go back and tag all my posts?

    If there’s a better way to achieve this same thing I’m all ears. The recent posts widget makes the pictures to small.
