I'm not sure if I understand your query correctly.
If you want to know how to put articles on the front page (content area) simply open the article (or create a new article) and in the Publishing tab choose Show on Front Page.
Let me know if this is not what you want to do.
Cheers.
PS: The front page content area is controlled by the Menu/ Main Menu/ Home link. (check it out)
