    Here is my website: http://yourpersonaltravelagent.com/ (yes, complete work in progress, but love this theme!)

    Problem is I cannot figure out why I have a second HOME on the Homepage. I have tried everything I can think of to delete it. I have gone into firebug and cannot find the file where it says it lies. Cannot find it on my backend in my control panel for my server nor my WordPress login. Please help. I don’t know what that second Home is – is it a box that I can change? If so, how? I have fiddled with it for a while and cannot for the life of me determine what it is or how to make it disappear.

    Thank you!

    I see you want your front page to be made up of only 3 widgets in the boxes sidebar. To make the “Home” text in the footer disappear you need to do the following steps.

    1. Duplicate page.php and rename it front-page.php
    2. Open front-page.php and delete everything between <div id="container"> and </div><!-- #container -->

    Daniel –

    The problem is not that I only want three widgets in the sidebar on the front page – I just want that HOME to disappear. Are you telling me that if I add more to the front page that second HOME will disappear? For instance, if I add posts, a Twitter stream, or videos, etc. to the front page, then that HOME will disappear? I want to add contact information, like a second footer, about the footer that is there now, that will be in a jpeg (so as to discourage scraping and spamming). Will that make the second HOME disappear?

    Apparently Wordfence blocks me access to your site. The reason the word “Home” appears on your front page is because it is the title of the page you have selected as front and has no content. If you rename it to “Contact me” and add some contact information than that will be displayed instead of where you now see “Home”. If you set it to show the latest blog posts instead it will disappear completely and just show the blog posts.
