 * Hi, i was hoping to get some help with a problem i am having.
 * I have recently installed and customized a theme. However i am looking to add
   a recent posts section to the front of my site. I would like this to pull in 
   recently added posts, show a short description, a thumbnail, and a read more 
   link. It would be nice if it showed the 5 newest posts. Does anyone know any 
   php that would do this? Or how i would go about doing this
    Thank you
