  • Can you show us what you have so far, and what categories you want displayed?
    Do you want this to happen for your front page only, or for all the pages?

    I want to have a front page with my general introduction to the site. Then a posts page w/ all the most recent posts. I’ve done these two things.

    Then I want to have 5 pages that list specific posts on the top, some content about the section, and then an archive given that specific category. So if you check the site, for instance it’s like “RSD” I want to have a company bio, some photos, and then an archive w/ posttitles (and links) from the RSD category.

    What you want has nothing to do with Pages. What you need is Category_Templates.

    I am bad with php and I’m not sure how to construct this page.

    I want the content at the top which I can code in HTML and then I need to have a list of categories that I choose specifically, along with the titles of the posts in each category.

    Can someone help me?

    I don’t think you have read thoroughly that article…

    Just a small quote for you:

    If you need to create a new file, it is a good idea to copy it from the next file in the hierarchy that exists. For instance, if you want a special display for Category 6, begin by copying the category.php file, or if you don’t have one, use archive.php, and so on.

    Go step by step – you don’t really need any PHP, that’s just a cheap excuse for those that don’t want to do the work themselves. Put whatever html code you want ABOVE the Loop. Get familiar with the WP lingo and terms: template files, template tags, Loop. There are plenty of links from that article I linked above.
    Category templates will always display ONLY the posts from your “specific” category, you don’t need any PHP wizardry…

    We all learned how to work with themes by trial and error.
