Earlier today I had some time to make a quick video. I have written about the template hierarchy before and I’m sure there are tons of other resources available out there. This justs adds to that ever-growing-list. The reason it drives me crazy is because of that front-page.php file that I see every so often or when I see a theme that uses the Template Name: Front Page in order to create that static front page.
The thing is that the front-page template is meant to be used once. On the FRONT PAGE. Why would you want that page to be in other pages? This is what irritates me most about that.
Anyway, enjoy, don’t, up to you. As for me I’m heading out to get some sculpting tools.
