 * If I wanted certain posts to have a background color of yellow (for example) 
   how could I add clas=”yellowbkg” to these posts?
 * Ultimately, I’d like to customize my site homepage into less of a blog-style 
   chronology, and more closely control the display of excerpts on the page, having
   certain posts in one column, certain posts in another, and certain posts spanning
   both columns. See this diagram as an example (disregard the sidebar comments):

 * Once I know how to add different classes or ids to my individual posts, is it
   just a matter of getting the css written for the positioning?

 * For the not-so-blog’ish chronology, check out [http://ourtake.net](http://ourtake.net)
   for some inspiration (it’s a political site, but it’s running WP.) As for the
   background, this page has a plugin you might be interested in: [http://wp-plugins.net/plugin/catHighlight/](http://wp-plugins.net/plugin/catHighlight/)
