I'm assuming you want to be able to select various articles/pages from the site to feature in the middle row of the home page, in a specific order (the top one being the Cover Story). The way to do that is to create a View that has its order controlled by a Node Queue. To make your Node Queue, go to admin/content/nodequeue/add/nodequeue . Enter a title (e.g. home_articles_queue), Queue size of 4, and for Type choose Article (assuming you've made the CCK type). You might also like to check "Reverse in admin view", as this will cause queue items to drop from the bottom of the list rather than the top as new items are added, which may or may not make better sense to you (if you do this, you'll also probably want to adjust the NodeQueue: Queue Position sort criteria option to "Descending" in the View you'll make in the step below). Node Queue also adds a new tab to pages of the content type you selected in the previous step (Article), and you can click that tab from any page and add the page into the queue. You can then reorder the queue as you like by going to admin/content/nodequeue and clicking on the View option of the queue you want to adjust (and you can also use the search field to add additional content directly to the Node Queue).
