How Can I Create a Front Page Based on Blocks? I am building a front page that comprises a number of Views-based blocks.  How can I create a front page that has no actual "content" (besides these blocks) without getting a "Page not found error"?

The best I have been able to do is create a Views page and set a filter that will never return a result e.g. nid &lt; 0.  I set the path to the front page and the title to none.  This seems like unnecessary overhead.

Surely, there must be a better way?
If it was me, I would create a custom page-front.tpl.  I'd omit the $content region and probably create a few custom regions for the homepage.  I can then place my blocks into the regions.

D6 create page-front.tpl.php
D7 create page--front.tpl.php

Cheers.
