You should use static blocks.
What categories do you want to display?
Is this a list of predefined category ids?

Display set of user chosen categories on magento home page

I am trying to display categories on magento home page. I know how to do it in a normal way using magento collections. I want to have it like a widget, if you insert a category link widget in static block or cms page, you can see the following:
{{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_block.phtml" id_path="category/3"}}
Now, here the id_path indicates which category to display. Can we modify it somehow to show a list of specified categories. For example like this: id_path = '3,4,5,6' so it will display all these specified categories. Can anybody guide me a way to do this? I don't know much about widget coding stuff in magento.
You can add as many as widgets inside the static block by selecting the widget as many as times you want.

Magento:- Add Grid in Admin Form

Now after click or change event of subcategory list i want to display magento grid(grid with paging filtering) JUST below that subcategory list.

Help appreciated.
-Thanks

Try to look in Mage files , magento already using grid into form,
look in this file : core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Category/Tap/Product.php
Product.php is a grid , to check the result from back-office, check catalog->manage categories then click on category products tab
There are many tutorials on creating a grid.
Maybe this one will help?

Display specific products on a CMS page

Could someone help me with some code to display specific products on a Magento CMS page?
The idea being that I build a page that has multiple sections on it (sections meaning a heading, some intro text and a small handful of products) and the user can add a selection of the displayed products to their cart from this page.
Ideally, the products should be displayed in the grid format, and I should be able to display between 1 and 6 products in each section.
I am using Magento 1.4.0.1 currently.
Cheers!
Consider using a CMS Widget to do this for you.
Here is one: Product List Widget
It isn't free but there are others if you look around.
