Chances are its so obvious I will be embarased.

Thanks for the link Duke.

Again thanks to all in the community for the advice to a noob you guys are the bestest.
Sounds like you simply need to use the News module. Make sure under the admin/modules that the News module is set for HOME.

Then just start adding News Stories. You can use basic HTML in your news postings, no problem. Then once you submit it, it should show up on your main page. If you want images in the news article, it is a matter of uploading the image to a "centralized" directory on your server and then posting a news article with a <img src link to that image.
