Hi Michael, <div><br></div><div>Thank you. That's a very good suggestion and one that should work. </div><div><br></div><div>Using front-page.php, I'll be able to show the correct layout, possibly with some conditionally displayed example content, without requiring that a custom template be applied and front page specified. Any blog page will still default to the home.php template. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you again. </div><div><br></div><div>Best, </div><div><br></div><div>Evan</div>
