 * I wanted to have a static front page and no blog. I tried to create a frontpage.
   php file and uploaded with Filezilla (FTP) to create a new template page. I am
   however unable to see the frontpage.php file in my wordpress editor. I find the
   steps in creating a page template by wordpress to not be clear. Am i missing 
   something???
 * Instead can I just take the side bar off the current home page instead (set up
   as a ‘home’ post page) and remove the links ‘uncategorized’ & ‘add a comment’.
   Any ideas appreciated!

   and uploaded the frontpage.php to the same place as your other theme files – 
   single.php, page.php, etc. then you will want to go to admin – Pages – Add New
   on the right sidebar under “Attributes” you should be able to select your template
   from the middle drop down box then you can edit it in the editor – save it – 
   assign it as static front page in admin – settings – reading
