    Any other way to hide the 2nd HOME page other than through a plugin and through wp_list_pages() it the themes?

    I get 2 HOME links since I'm making a static home and pointing to another page as the blog page. It seems this is a theme design thingy as mentioned here.

    I've already edited (read:hardcoded) much on 1 plugin I'm using to give me what I want, and I really want to avoid editing things for fear that future upgrades is gonna screw things up much.

    :)

    To hide the page you can use page link manager plugin (just Google it), or I used to edit one of the files in the template I used. The link was named "Home", so I just searched (Edit/Find) one of the files (Header.php I think) and deleted the word Home (upper case).

    Interesting! Thanks for this. I do use pageMash to order, hide/show pages. Is this plugin still ok on version 2.8.4?

    Not sure if it's compatible with version 2.8.4, I haven't used it for the last few updates. But it's easy enough to find out. Just upload and activate it, click on the plugin (Tools or Settings I think) and select the page you want to hide.
