Home page has disappeared! help!

hi there, I don’t know what has happened but somehow the home page where the widgets show for the epik theme has disappeared

so when you go to my website http://www.yourlifethroughalens.com.au it points to the /blog page.

help! has something been changed somewhere in the coding? or is it a simple direction issue? as there is no static page, i don’t know where to point the home page too.

this is the code that is in my page_home.php file (i haven’t changed it as far as I am aware as I never touch this). This all happened last week after my host (siteground) went in and removed something from my htaccess file because the hosting wasn’t working. They are now saying it wasn’t anything they have done so I don’t know! help!

thanks
Clare
