You know what, I’m being dumb. I figured out that I was having my front page display my posts. I created a blog page and had my front page be that static page utilizing the ‘blog’ template.

Now I can use your plugin idea and it works. Thanks Kronos for your patience. 🙂

Hmm, I’m not seeing the ability to use the same widget areas to show different content on different pages.

I can create a new area, and use that area on some pages but not others, but the widget area would have to be given its own unique styling in the stylesheet.

Will that plugin let me utilize all of the Homepage widget areas?
