Loops – Showing Posts on Static Front Page

Hopefully someone can help me out (completely over my head here).

I have a page currently titled “General Information” which is set as the static front page. This page currently contains a few paragraphs of information that I would like to remain on the front page.

I also have a “Blog Posts” page, which will contain all of the blog posts. The settings for these two have been set under Reading.

My goal is to have a portion on “General Information” that displays some of the blog posts that have a specific category (ex: “Frontpage Posts”) that will be 2-3 of the most recent posts in that category.

How would I go about adding that, while maintaining the ability to add static content to that front page, and up to date posts from that category…

Thanks!
