How do I edit the Home Page

I am new at Joomla and am doing pretty good editing and adding pages. What has got me stumped is where do you edit the home page?

I can't find it anywhere in the static content manager.

Ahh, this is a common issue. The home page is located in a different place within the admin section.

You can edit the home page by going to menu item:
Content->Front Page Manager

Or you can click on the icon "Frontpage Manager" on the home page of the administrator area

Example:

I'm new to Joomla. I was able to find the Front Page, but how do I edit the verbage? When I go into the page there is nothing there.

Mary,

I'm glad you have joined our forums. On your site the content to be displayed included an adsense ad so we had to use a different set of logic to display correctly.

The home page pulls a module that then displays the final content. It is found under "modules > html modules"... however, we have it locked because if it is not edited correctly the entire 4 block area on the index looses its settings and becomes displayed incorrectly.

This is a common situation on many "non-standard" content body layouts. But do not worry... it's easy for a professional to make changes on.

If your changes are simply text changes (no overall layout changes) then please send an email to James with an attached text document of the changes and we should be able to take care of it swiftly.

If you find this is an issue that you would not like to deal with in the future (sending emails to make simple text changes on this one page) then please address that with James as well. We can discuss redesigning the body content area of the front page to be less strict toward edits on your part.

Hope this all makes sense and we look forward to hearing from you.
