moving content on the homepage

hello, this may be a silly question.

but does anyone have any tutorials on how to move boxes and content aound on the homepage, i understand all the content is in the mainpage file. but i want to add some content boxes and other customiztions

thanks

Not all of the homepage content is in define_main_page.php, just the center column. That also does not include featured/new products and such, which are handled separately.
It is possible to have a separate version of some files for a particular page; look at the comments at the top of tpl_main_page.php:

• For customizing, this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
• example: to override the privacy page<br />
• • make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
• • copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_main_page.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_main_page.php<br />

/index_home/ is supposed to be the homepage folder.
