I've set up a new Drupal install, and configured a number of pages. The one very basic thing I'm stuck on now is how to customize the home page.
At the moment, the home page is a summary of all the recent pages I added to the website. I don't really want the home page to be a long blog-like page. Instead, I want to have mostly fixed content, with perhaps (later) a news module on the home page, that is dynamically driven.
How can I override Drupal's default behavior, and get control of the home page?
Thanks,
Antun

Look into views as well. You can place blocks on the frontpage etc.. a lot of ways to do it!
Sticky
Set the fixed content to "Sticky at the top of lists" and "Promoted to front page."
Take a look at Nancy's Information Site for an example. The "Welcome" message is a sticky story (fixed content). The "Announcement" is the latest news story.
The Admin>>Site Configuration>>Site information should have the default front page set to
<front>and the "home" setting in the menu should be set the same or tonode.Nancy W.

In order to comment on it, we would have to see the View that you created.
