  * summary:  is_home() returns FALSE when using a static page as your
              front page, should return TRUE => is_home()
              returns FALSE when using a static page as your
              front page

New description:

 When a static page is being used as the front page of your blog, the
 is_home() function returns false.  There is no simple function for
 determining "front of site, regardless of blog or page"

 To recreate:

 1. Go to Options -> Reading in your admin panel.

 2. Choose a static page to use as your front page.

 4. Insert a simple is_home() test in your template.

 4. Observe the result of the is_home() function is false
