Promoted to frontpage teasers in a block General:

I am new with Drupal; so, I was trying to add new regions to Zen (sub)template, but got very confused why contents of my new-created region "content 2" appears on page above the original so called "promoted to front page teasers", which I considered to be a "content"...

Now, it seems "promoted teasers" are not in a block - and that's why they are not in a "content region"? 

If so, How to put "promoted teasers" in a block? 

Also confusing - what do "main page content" block? - It seems I cannot disable it and if I put "main page content" in a "content" region - my new "content 2" region appears above the "promoted teasers" ; if I put this "main page content" block in "content 2" - both content of "content 2" and "promoted teasers" appear next each other in the same row (?!)....

May be it depends somehow on CSS also? 

I don't know, I just somehow assumed that "promoted teasers" are "content" region's content, but it's not - so, what should I do with it now?

      &lt;?php print render($page['content']); ?&gt;
      &lt;?php print $feed_icons; ?&gt;

    &lt;?php
    // content - 2 region , my own added
      print render($page['content2']); ?&gt;
     &lt;?php print render($page['content3']); ?&gt;
     &lt;?php print render($page['content4']); ?&gt;
     &lt;?php print render($page['content5']); ?&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
Use Views:


Create view of content
Create "Block" display
Use filters to only show ones with "promoted to frontpage" selected
In Format section set  Show: Content | Teaser 
Put your block on the frontpage


That's all.
