  I would like to create a clean home page on my site micjammac.com. I am currently using the showcase template because I like that it eliminates the title from the page. I understand that it isn’t possible to eliminate the ‘recent post’ section of the showcase template. Is it possible to use the default template and eliminate the title and extra white space at the top using custom CSS so the page looks like the showcase template without recent posts at the bottom?

  @timethief: It helped a bit, but left several un-awnsered questions. I posted a follow-up comment on the thread for clarificaiton. If you have any further insight or CSS to share, I would appreciate it.

  You can hide the recent posts section on the Twenty Eleven Showcase Template page. Try this to see what I mean:

  .recent-posts {
  display: none;
  }

  You could also use the default template and eliminate the title and extra white space at the top using custom CSS if you’d like. Can you please post back if that’s something you’re still interested in doing?
