Description on home page and custom boxes

Hello,

I am wanting to limit the number of products on my home page to two and include a short snippet of the description on the home page. I have searched both Google and Zen Cart forum on instructions for this, the most recent I've seen for it were instructions from 2006. As those were for 1.2 and I am running 1.5 (soon to be 1.5.1) and I am not a PHP code expert, I am leary of inserting code. Of course, I can easily remove said code, but I want to know if any one has done this.

Also, I want to be able to customize the side box titles as well as perhaps have a "side box" in the center that is relatively simple to update. Is this possible?

Best,

Marci
