[support] Change home page from story to page?

[Metzler, David]

Last I checked, node Title was a required field, and by default, the
node title on a home page displays with a link to that piece of content.
So how are you suppressing them for the two paragraphs.  Are you using
panels?  Are you supressing the the titles via custom tpl's for specific
node types (e.g. story.tpl)? Are these blocks with custom text?  Have
you customized node.tpl, story.tpl or another .tpl file to remove
titles? 
 
As one person has suggested, adding the edit link at the theming layer
with tests on which "role" a user is in, is one way to add specific
links to editing a node on the page. Could you include more info about
how your paragraphs are constructed?

Yes I do.  And the edit/revisions tabs appear on the other pages. (that
was a good question though - my first try at a template didn't include
tabs and i was missing all kinds of things)

that page, a

The news items

homepage.

management part

wondering if

home page content.

edit that node,

			When I first set up my site, I added a story to
the home page which now
			appears there but isn't editable from the home
page.  Can this be
			changed?  I do want the home page to have other
elements such as news
			stories that have been promoted to the home
page, so maybe this is the
			only or best way to do it.  but i think the best
case would be for an
			editor to be able to edit the main home page
content from there rather
			than to have to go looking for it.
