 * Hey guys, I switched to WordPress.org because I wasn’t allowed the freedoms I
   needed without my own server.
 * I want to be able to create a homepage that has a completely different format
   than the rest of my site. I figured I could work with some coding to do so.
 * I essentially want a static homepage that has my site’s logo and below it two
   categories for two different sections of my site. These sections will have their
   own pages and subpages, but all follow the same theme.
 * Is this possible? and could anyone lend me a bit of advice when it comes to creating
   this separate style of homepage?

 * It’s completely possible, and pretty easy to do.
 * All you need to do is create a new template file in your themes folder called`
   front-page.php` and throw all of your HTML in there. As long as you’re keeping
   it spearate from the rest of the site then that’s all that you need to do.
 * If you want to re-use osme parts like the header or footer areas you can look
   at other template files like `index.php` to see how they include them, and that
   will tell you what you need to do as well.
