I am fairly new to drupal but have learned a lot in the past couple weeks. I have downloaded Views with the hopes of creating a different looking frontpage. I created some new node types defined by the type of content (News,Reviews, etc)[instead of 'story' and 'page'] that I plan on having on the website. However, I would like a home page that separates that content. I am trying to have what looks like two blocks on the front page, one sayin with a header that says "latest news" then followed by the 5 most recent news posts... then below that a separate block titled "latest reviews" followed by the 5 most recent review posts...
So essentially it would be very similar to the current frontpage, just separating the different content types into two blocks instead of having them all together. Can someone point me in the right direction here, or even better, help me out a lot. I have some previous coding experience, so I am sure I can figure out some PHP (now that I am adminning this site, I am sure I will learn a lot of it again).
Anyway, suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

you will want to investigate the panels.module and set a panel that you design as the default front page in administer -> site information.
Or you could design a custom page-front.tpl.php and add your own regions, add your own styling to the style.css file of your theme. Upload the tpl.php to your theme and page-front.tpl.php will always be called first when visitors enter your site.
