# static front page – proper layout

 * Site:
    [http://66.147.244.185/~crossfx0/](http://66.147.244.185/~crossfx0/) (
   we haven’t registered the domain yet, parent company needs to approve some things
   first…)
 * Ok, so I want to have a static front page, which I did set up already, no problem.
   Problem I’m having is, using the default template results in a WAY goofed up 
   display (as you can see it’s far off to the right, and down a good ways.
 * I can probably figure it out on my own eventually, after hours and hours of digging,
   and thought I’d ask you guys if you could point me in the right direction towards
   an answer.
 * Basically, a few things, I’d like to get rid of the word “home”, get rid of that
   huge space between “home” and the page’s “header” (where it says CrossFit Raw
   Intensity in gray background image). And also want it so that the page’s “header”‘
   s top & left are set to just under the WordPress header (with the horizontal 
   menu, etc).
 * I *don’t* want to do absolute positioning to make this happen if I don’t have
   to.
 * Oh, and also I’m trying to get rid of the comments block. Think I can figure 
   that out too, but like I said, I’m strapped for time and can’t figure it out 
   quickly yet 🙁

 * you might have messed something up with your page _content_:

 * > I’m trying to get rid of the comments block
 * check the forum, this is a common question:
    can be done by using the available
   settings in the dashboard.

 * Ok, I rarely use the quick edit, and apparently that option is only in the quick
   edit menu. That’d probably be a good thing to put into the main editing screen
   also huh?
 * Anyhow, I got the comments block removed, but…

 * I made some other changes, and things still aren’t laying out properly.
 * Ignore the colors, they’re for the different div’s for debugging.
 * Can anyone help me take the whole blue div and make it so it appears pretty much
   dead center in the yellow? While I’m at it, I’d also like to whack the “home”
   header in there, but I can’t seem to override the entry-header class for some
   reason…
