Comment (by miloandrew):

 Thanks very much!  Sorry to have logged a bug.  No one responded on the
 forum.

 I had actually looked at the pages that you quoted, but they didn't really
 help me to figure it out.   You stating that home.php was the template to
 work with allowed me to find this page, which spells it out perfectly:

 http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Ramiy/Conditional_Tags/is_home

 -->
 [[BR]]
 is_home

 Wordpress 2.1 handles this function differently than prior versions - See
 static Front Page. If you select a static Page as your frontpage (see
 is_front_page()), the is_home() tag will be applied to your "posts
 page".[[BR]]

 <--

 Thanks again,
 A

 > When you pick a Page to be used to display the latest posts, only it's
 URL gets used. `is_page()` will return `FALSE` for example (also note it
 doesn't use the Page template).
