show products on magento homepage

Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiim..

okay, I'm starting to seriously manage my own provate project that is create an online store.
After, browsing, asking etc I found magento as the best free online store I found.
the important thing is it has a good free templates hehe...

the most difficult is how to show products on magento home page.
I thought it should be default, but it is not.

After searching some documentation, I found this good link http://vimeo.com/1070986
So, simple.
1. Create product category (set active as no). It just to collect all products to show up in home page
2. Create products and set category to your home page category
3. Update attributes of products and set it to show in main website
4. Make sure you have update inventory of that product
5. Set up cms homepage content. Add this block:

{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="10" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}  

Change category_id to number ID that can you see in category management
example:

Full (ID: 10) 

So category_id is 10


that is...
hope this help
