I have tried the front_page module, but it only seems to allow me to change the html.
I really only need to change the css - I want the same content, because I want the blocks in the sidebar generated, I just want a different look and feel on the home page. (No, really - client requirement!)
One of the following solutions would be fine:
- 'here is how you change the css file (theme?) used for a particular page'
- 'here is the path and name of the file you edit to change the body tag from "" to "" '
- some other way?

Thanks!

If your site theme is based on the PHPTemplate theme engine, it's trivial to do what you describe.

Thank you for your useful and complete answer that assisted me with my problem.
Anyone else able to provide details that will actually lead me to the information that describes how this works?

No need to be rude. :)

The answers you seek are already here on drupal.org, and what he speaks of are located in the phptemplate documentation. It'd been nice of him to post some more information, but a little extrapolation on your part wouldn't hurt.

That helps :)
I'll go read it, now that I have a pointer in the right direction
