Trying to re-create the "Featured Content" boxes on homepage

Hello Support. I am trying to re-create the 4 boxes on the homepage with the picture and text via HTML on a "regular page". I do not the default homepage that comes with the theme. I want to use a "regular page" for my homepage, that will have various other content including the 4 boxes. I am having a hard time figuring out the HTML-code that will allow me to have these 4 boxes on my homepage so that I can then change the Title, Description, image, etc, manually of these individual 4 boxes. They need not "pull" this information from anywhere as I will be adding all of that manually. Do you have the HTML-code for these 4 boxes so that I can edit it from within a "regular homepage"...?? Thanx in advance. --d.
