Adding articles to AskBug?

Hi,

I would like to create a q&a site using askbug.  I love how the theme looks but would like to include “articles” – content that I write (posts) that is not a question or answer.

How difficult (or easy) would it be to include a preview or two of featured articles on the current askbug homepage?  Would I also be able to include text on the home page that displays the number of articles with a link to the list?   Lastly, can users who are already logged in comment on these articles?

Thank you.
