[wp-hackers] Pagination: How to display sidebar content on front page only?

[Tiago Relvao]

Just a reminder... Don't forget there is a template file - home.php. You 
can use it to further customize your home page.

If you want to change more than a sidebar it's best not to use 
conditional tags as things may get confuse and difficult to maintain. 
You can copy your template index.php and call it home.php as a base for 
your development.

Best regards, Tiago
