The purpose of the custom front page is to provide a format in which to display any object or image as the center-of-attention.

This may entail a few bumps and work-arounds for some, yet it is a part of On The Side Theme styles and should be easy to configure as follows:

• You can simply add a Widget to the "Center Widget" To override any Home Page content.
• If you do not have a widget set for "Center Widget" then your normal content will display on your Home Page.
• If you add a widget to the Front Page and your theme is set to show Posts on the Home Page then the widget will NOT over-ride your Posts.

A great solution is to put the widget: "Recent Posts." into Center Sidebar.
This gives you your pages on the left sidebar with plenty of open space to
show image background while listing your Posts as a Table of Contents.

Side Menu Instructions

• The default widget, on the left, will show your Pages and a Log In Meta box.
• Creating a new "Left Sidebar" widget from WP Admin will take precedence over these defaults but, still leave the Pages widget, underneath the logo, to display your blog pages.
• This Left Sidebar menu is called from wp-nav-menu and IS the main menu.
