Oh but that’s no good… you need to be able to simply assign articles to the Front Page in the back end, without changing the section or category they’re assigned to! To use the section blog layout for your homepage means you’d have to assign everything you want on your homepage to that section — which would cause major problems for me.
So if I too want my Front Page Blog Layout to look like my Section Blog Layout (specifically the way the text wraps or doesn’t wrap around pictures, for example), what do I need to look to change the CSS for each layout — front page blog vs. section blog?
