How do I do this with Xenforo?

[moon10k]

So when people go to my site, How can I make it so this type of page appears, with the like "announcement" board that I see on a lot of xenforo sites. Thanks!

Hey,

Didn't write this up but figured it'd be useful;

1. If you go to your site page at this moment, you'll see two things: one, there are two home buttons and two, if you go to the article list (yourforumdomain.tld/index.php?articles/), you'll notice that there isn't anything there. Not to worry! We'll deal with it soon enough.
2. Now, we are going to make a news/announcements forum. This can be done by going into the "Applications" tab in the administrator panel on Xenforo and clicking on "Create New Node."
3. Press "Forum," and click "Proceed."
4. Enter a title and description for the forum, and click "Save Forum." (you're gonna have to set proper permissions in order to access this and prevent abuse of this forum, so be sure you do later on!)
5. Navigate to the "Options" page in your administrator panel on Xenforo. Click on "[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta 2 (Portal) PRO" at the bottom of the page.
6. Navigate to "Auto-Promote Forums," and select the News forum. Click "Save Changes" once you are done.
7. Now, go to your site and enter the news forum. Click "post new thread" and post something random.
8. Upon posting, you'll notice the thread comes out funny. If you don't want it to come out this way, don't worry! I'll tell you how to fix it in a bit. After looking at it, navigate to the second home button (or first, depending on what your settings are).
9. My goodness! Is that a news page I see? (If you're not seeing it, navigate to yourforumdomain.tld/index.php?articles/)
10. Now, we have to turn it into our home page. Navigate to the options page, again, in your administrator panel and select "Basic Board Information."
11. Navigate to "Index page route." It should be set as forums/, set it to articles/. Press "Save Changes."

Thanks! But how do I add the side Widgets as seen from the picture?
