Polaroids theme troubles – help needed!

Hi,

I’m really sorry if this has been answered but I am really new to this and I’m at my wit’s end!

I want a static home page with 5 polaroids on, that you can then click and are taken to the page. I want 2 of these polaroids to be static pages, and the other 3 to be pages that have my latest posts on…i.e I have page 1(static), page 2(posts), page 3(posts), page 4(posts) and then page 5(static). The main problems I am having are:

1.) I can’t get the polaroids on a static home page. I have put links to the pages, but can’t get the actual polaroid images.

2.)I can’t work out how to get posts on more than one page.

3.) At the bottom, there is a menu which says ‘pages, categories, archives, links, info’ etc. I can’t find where to add the links for the links option.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Thanks
