 * Hi,
    I need to modify a WP theme so that I can add a text block to the bottom
   of the index.php page. I don’t want this text to appear on any other pages on
   the site. How do I do this?
 * Thanks.

 * Use a [conditional tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags) such as `
   is_home()` or `is_front_page()`
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (is_home()) {
       ?>
       this is text block to display on home page
       line two of text block
       <?php
       }
       ?>
       ```
