Pinboard – Featured Content

I am a rookie when working with web pages and blogging. I like the look of pinboard. The one item that I can’t see how to do automatically is what some themes call “featured content”. What I really want is one row of images between my main slider and my posts on my home page. One image might be a map widget or link, one would go to a different page or category etc. I don’t see how to enable this between the feature slider and my posts.

Is this easily (important) possible with pinboard?

Thank-you…….Jackie
