How to make WordPress more like ExpressionEngine?

    I’m trying to get to grips with WP because it’s free.

    In EE I currently have 2 seperate weblogs. One for a “blog”, and one for “portfolio”.

    Using a template, I can grab the most recent titles from the portfolio and display them in a list — same with posts from my blog.

    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="portfolio" orderby="date" limit="8" dynamic="off"}
	<li>
		{title}
	</li>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

    To display 8 recent blog post titles I’d just change weblog=”portfolio” to “blog”.

    So, the problem I have in WP is that everything is one blog, I guess. I want to create a dynamic main front page that shows two boxes with the recent 5 titles of my blog posts and portfolio posts.

    Is the correct way to seperate them using Categories? Put my portfolio posts in the category “portfolio” and my blog posts in the cat “blog”, then call the recent posts from each category?
