[wp-hackers] Difference between is_home and is_front_page

[Nathan Rice]

Close, but no.
If your About page is set as your front page, and you are viewing
http://example.com, then:
is_home() will return false
is_front_page() will return true.

If your About page is set as your front page, and your Blog page is set up
to list blog posts, and you are viewing http://example.com/blog then:
is_home() will return true
is_front_page() will retrun false

(Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone).
