You can solve this problem by making a static home page and applying the one-column template to it. I found the instructions here:

You’ll Add 2 new pages – one called Home, and one called Blog, which will appear in the top navigation.

There are step by step instructions at the link above.

Can you help me with figuring out what the RTL style sheets do, and how I can make them behave ? here is the site I am customizing using Twenty Ten theme: http://mikebonacorsi.com/wordpress/
