How do EZ-Pages work?

Admin > Configuration > EZ-Pages Settings > EZ-Pages Footer Link Separator

Thanks, but I already know how to add/remover the separator.. what I need to know is to how to NOT have it appear at the begginning of my footer (before the links begin).. The separator is showing up BEFORE my first link like it's separating the space where the Home page link used to be.. I have looked at the code for the header, and the home page link is commented out and yet the separator does not lead the links on the header.. Only does this on the footer..

So when I comment out the Home page link on the footer, this is what it looks like:
~ Contact Us ~ Shipping & Returns ~ Privacy Notice ~ Conditions of Use ~ Site Map ~ Newsletter Unsubscribe

Instead of
Contact Us ~ Shipping & Returns ~ Privacy Notice ~ Conditions of Use ~ Site Map ~ Newsletter Unsubscribe

How do I fix that???
