not sure exactly what you are looking for, but you can set up a static main page pretty easily, and it is also easy to turn off the recent posts widget

why would you not use the post private function?

1) save it, do not "publish it"
or 2) edit it after publishing and set it to "unpublished"
or 3) save it as a "draft"
or 4) pre-publish it, if you want it to be published next week at 12pm, change the published date to that date. it will publish itself at that time.

what he said....

or you could pre-publish it with a wacked out date like Jan 1, 2099 or something?
or put it in it's own category and then recode the loop to omit that category?

quite a few ways but depends on what you want the end result to be

PHP Code:


			
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=-4&showposts=4&offset=2"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>

where -4 is -yourcat
