[TYPO3-english] tt_news on the frontpage

[Martin Kjeldsen]

I am trying to create a template, which will render the news in the 
following way:

1) The single, latest news item presented with headline, image and first 
250 chars of content
2) The next 4 news items rendered with just their headlines as links to 
the full news items.

I think this is a very common layout for site frontpages, but I can't 
figure out how to do it. Has anybody made something similar?

Thanks in advance
