<DIV></DIV>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)<BR><BR>Sarah Adams wrote:

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Well not every home page on the internet is a teaser list. This
particualar one has a random image (thanks for your help on that btw I
got it working), two paragraphs of text that are only on that page, a
specialized search (custom module) and 3 news items. The news items
will just be headers that link. However the two paragraphs don't link
off anywhere, so you can't see them anywhere except the homepage.
Therefore to edit them you need to go to the content management part
of the admin and find the story and edit it. I was just wondering if
there was an easier way to have the editors manage the home page content.

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Doen't quite make sense. The home page is normally a "teaser list" of
nodes. If you click on the node that you want to edit, whether it's the
top sticky one or another, you should be able to edit that node,

Not sure what you mean by "go looking for it", so am a little confused
as to whether I'm answering your question.

Subject: [support] Change home page from story to page?
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.
