Answers.Text: That's whats great about Craft; a lot of features don't require plugins. A lot of it can be done with core functionality out of the box. This has tons of benefits: 1. You can write the exact markup you need, 2. You can use the exact styles you need without any extra bloat, 3. You know *exactly* how something functions, without any magical undocumented functions.

  You could create a matrix content field for the homepage with a child entry selection field. You can add as many matrix blocks as you'd like, and select the entries you would like within them.
  
  You can read more about Matrix fields [here](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/matrix-fields).
  
  Likewise you can checkout entry field types [here](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/entries-fields).
  
  So your code for `index.twig` might look like:
  
  ```
  {% for block in entry.calloutBlocks %}
    <article>
      {{block.title}}
      {{block.body}}
      <a href="{{block.url}}">Read more</a>
    </article>
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
