Dynamic "latest news"

Howdy,
A lot of the template demos have "Featured Highlights" or "Latest News" and feature an image with some text and a "Read More..." link.
I'd like to do this on my site. However, the code to produce these sections in the demo code is static. For example, the Iridium demo ( demo.rockettheme.com/?template=iridium ) shows a "Latest updates" section. However, according to the documentation ( www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=29...80249&rb_v=viewtopic ), this material is a static "custom HTML module". The consequence is that making a new update (i.e. creating a new article) does not update the "latest updates section".
Having to remember to update a static piece of code every time a new article is written seems to be self defeating in a CMS.
Is there an easy way to show an introduction to each of the latest articles together with a thumbnail without relying on static code? Ideally, is there a way to show the introduction of the latest articles together with the thumbnail of the category/section to which they belong?
Cheers!
