Hi everybody!
I'm looking for a solution for this problem:

on my startpage i want to have an static page element which is always on top of the page - like a little welcome note - underneath there should be a blog news thingi where all the new posts assigned to the start page will go.

I can not figure out how to do this. Would be nice if somebody could point me in the right direction!

cheers!

I would see what module positions are available on your template. You can do this by adding tp=1 to the query string like so:
http://www.joomla.org/index.php?tp=1

If you have a template position where you want your static HTML, just create a custom HTML module and put your static HTML in there.

If you don't have a module position, you can add one by editing your template's index.php file here:
.../templates/YOURTEMPLATE/index.php

Another option would be to just hard code your static HTML into your template by editing your template's index.php.

Let me know if I misunderstood.
