It all seemed to work out but actually it doesn't.
My original idea was to use the lifestyle pro theme to showcase one featured post in the top widget area and two specific categories in the bottom widget area, while everything in between is filled with my recent posts and links to the second page filled with all the other posts. The homepage I dreamed of would therefore look like this (reading from header to footer) ...
Header, Navigation, Featured post, Last 5 Posts, Link to Blog-Page 2 containing Post 6 - X, Featured Categories, Footer.
Even though stinkykong and braddleton tried to help, it does not work out at all. It seems to be impossible to fill in my latest posts without breaking something else or messing up my wordpress.
- If I create a parent category and use the featured posts widget, like stinkykong suggested, the second page of this parent category shows all of those "featured posts" again. Furthermore I misuse the category feature of wordpress.
- If I use the text widget, like stinkykong suggested, to link to my following posts I need a place for them - a real blog page - which again, will show all of those "featured posts" again.
What I need is a simple solution to create the above defined outcome. A solution that uses my homepage as the blog page while still showing the top and bottom widget, filling everything in between with my latest posts. Is this even possible? If so, how?

I therefore need something like the "Previous Posts" link on a normal blog page that sends visitors to the second page.
Sadly the "Show Category Archive Link" option in the "Featured Posts Widget" is not working.
