Re: getting content from another content type into a "static" page

Elements sound like the right thing, but you can always use a model
anywhere you like, and Cake does some really nice magic for you in
most cases where you'd want to do this.

Sounds like you are wanting to get some specific data displayed on
your home page, which would involve adding the models to your app
controller (haven't ever tried this myself, outside of Auth data).

Chris Hartjes has a nice article on his blog where he debunks Cake
myths, and shows you how to use multiple models in a controller (see
http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/).
