Yes. When you create the static page, select the option that says "front page only" or something to that effect.

the one youre talking about just creates a centre block. I opted to redirect people coming to the site to the static page. Works fine.

Well, you can either make it a block, or you can make it be the entire page between the right and left blocks (hiding the stories).

And you can make it being the whole page without any blocks or just the right blocks, too.

A few more questions...

I know I can use any HTML in the Static page, but what about the title of the page. Is there a way I can adjust the title too? I am using Axonz Red theme 3.2.1, and the static pages title's are rather small.

Next: When I make the static page the home page of the site, but choose to have it at the top of the other stories, (not hiding all the stories) all the stories are centred, including the title, who submitted them etc etc... Why is that, and is there a way to set it back to align left?

Next: When I make a static page the homepage of my site, is there a link I can look at for _all_ the news? _All_ the news meaning just like what is displayed before you set the static page to be the homepage?
Now, the only way to read all the news is to click each topic individually.
EDIT: I just found this one to solve this... >> http://www.geeklog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=3&showtopic=28518

I am on static pages 1.3 and GeekLog v1.3.8-1sr4. I can't update my GL until Axonz 1.4 is out, and is fully compatable with 1.3.9.

1) I believe the static page title is merely a block title. I don't think there is an easy way to make this bigger without affecting all of your block titles.

2) The centering issue sounds like a bug in the Axonz theme, to me. I would try reporting it to wOOge on his site.

There is a static page title remover, but it removes titles from all static pages. I think it might be a hack. You can try doing a search on "Remove Title". But I'm not sure I saw it here or on another site.
