    I want to create a custom home page into my wordpress theme.

    instead of index.php i want to use custom home.php

    how does home.php works i mean i want my custom homepage automatically comes up when some one visit my blog

    i know there is one way by going to: wordpress admin [settings], [reading], [front page displays], ["A static page" - Radio Button].

    but i want some cool, more advanced, wigetized goodies to pull together my blog on a dynamic basis. If you’ve seen some of those premium themes around. e.g. http://test.nattywp.com/preview.php?theme=news-hunter

    Please guide me to succeeds this..

    Many thanks

    After you find a theme you like, copy it's index.php file and name it home.php. Edit the home.php file to feature the changes you want to only show on the homepage.
